Compatibility
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but
|
||||
there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2
|
||||
will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations.
|
||||
|
||||
If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older
|
||||
kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new
|
||||
attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel,
|
||||
it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of
|
||||
compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term
|
||||
Support (LTS) kernel version.
|
||||
|
||||
How to compile this.
