What is iproute?

This is `iproute', the professional set of tools to control the networking behavior in kernels 2.4.20-rc1aa and later.

What is different from the official Debian package?

This version is compatible with HTB3 (Hierarchical Token Bucket) which is present in 2.4.20-rc1 and later kernels. It is also based on the latest iproute tarball on ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/. This was iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss020116-try.tar.gz at the time of writing.

This version is slightly modified to use 10^3 bytes for a kbit, 10^6 for a mbit, etc. and not 2^10 bytes for a kbit, 2^20 bytes for a mbit, etc.
