I completely agree with Mateus, if this isn't going to be the same
as Linux's iproute2's `ip`, it should have a different name.
Too similar in purpose and could be very confusing for many people.
Other than that, sounds good with me.

From a consumer view I think we should be conservative and not add any
additional commands that operates in an area where there already exists well
known commands. Not sure i understand what new features you are contributing,
but the sound of it i guess it has to do with IP routing and fib’s. If

If you are not going to be compatible, use a different name. I don't
have good ideas, but something in the lines of "netctl" or similar
should do the trick.
