+This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.
+
+Information:
+ https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/iproute2
+
+Download:
+ http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/
+
+Stable version repository:
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git
+
+Development repository:
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next.git
+
+How to compile this.
+--------------------
+1. libdbm
+
+arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
+users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
+DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
+is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
+database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
+
+2. make
+
+The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
+contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
+on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
+
+3. include/uapi
+
+This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
+the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
+if you have special requirements and need to point at different
+kernel include files.

+Iproute2 development is closely tied to Linux kernel networking
+development. Most new features require a kernel and a utility component.
+
+Please submit both to the Linux networking mailing list
+ <netdev@vger.kernel.org>
+
+The current source for the stable version is in the git repository:
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git
+
+The development git repository is available at the following address:
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next.git
+
+The stable repository contains the source corresponding to the
+current code in the Linux networking tree (net), which in turn is
+aligned on the mainline Linux kernel (ie follows Linus).
+The iproute2-next repository tracks the code intended for the next
+release; it corresponds with networking development tree (net-next)
+in the kernel.
