I agree that integration into iproute2 is a good idea. I strongly disagree on introducing such a short command name. Today we live in a world where you google for usage examples... the ip and tc commands origin for another time, and IMHO their short names have hurt them not getting broad usage. Especially it have been difficult to get people to really adopt "ip", which is also worst search term in the Internet today... -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
