"dev [device]", "metric [metric]", "mtu [mtu]", "irtt [rtt]",
"window [window]", and any of
.I FLAGS
.br

can be any of "static", "reject", "throw", "nopmtudisc", "noforward", "local",

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the various invocations of the
.BR iproute
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not
have a manual page.
Instead, it has documentation as part of the Linux source tree. Note that
this documentation may also be found in /usr/doc/iproute on Debian systems.
.PP
.B iproute
will modify or show the current policy-based routing tables. These are held in
kernel space, so iproute requires root permissions to run. Note that policy
based routing tables are a feature of kernels 2.1.16 and above, so you will
not be able to use this program unless you have a specific patch with an
earlier kernel.
.SH OPTIONS
.B iproute
accepts the following single options on the command line:-
.TP
.B \-c
Shows the current routing cache.
.TP
.B \-r
Shows the current routing classes.
.TP
.B \-l
Shows a long listing of routes.
.PP
Invoking the program with no command-line will produce a simple list of
current routes.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IR "route(8), ifconfig(8), netstat(8), arp(8)"
.PP
The policy-based routing system is documented fully in the file
.IR "Documentation/networking/policy-routing.txt"
which can be found in kernels 2.1.16 and above.
.SH BUGS
Not very well documented anywhere :)
.SH AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk>,
for the Debian GNU/Linux system.
