+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.
