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.
