<groff: tc.8>:51: warning: total indent cannot be negative
<groff: tc.8>:57: warning: escape character ignored before `i'
*********************
Space at end of line removed
General considerations
a) Manuals should usually only be left justified. Use ".ad l"
as the first regular command.
b) Each sentence should begin on a new line. The conventions
about the amount of space between sentences are different. This
also makes a check on the number of space characters between
words easier.
c) Separate numbers from units with a (no-break) space. A
no-break space can be code 0xA0, "\ " (\<space>), or "\~"
(groff).
d) Use macros "TS/TE" for tables with more than two columns.
Then use
'\" t
as the first line in the source to tell "man" to use the "tbl"
preprocessor.
e) Protect last period (full stop) in abbreviations with "\&",
if it is or might be (through new formatting of source) at the
end of line, if it is also not an end of sentence.

This patch updates the netem manpage to describe how to use
netem to mark packets with ecn instead of dropping them.

Reported by Ivan Vilata i Balaguer <ivan@selidor.net>
found that the description of the `ip link add` command in the manpage
is outdated regarding the compulsory `link DEVICE` option.
For instance, `ip link help` says:
Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
...
But the manpage still says:
ip link add link DEVICE [ name ] NAME
(Trying to provide a `link` option e.g. under an LXC container can frustrate
the creation of dummy devices which don't need an actual device.)
The syntax of the "ip link help" output was fixed in commit
"iproute2: Fix usage and man page for 'ip link'" (a22e92951d).
This updates the manpage to mark "link DEVICE" as an optional
argument there as well.

The kernel supports a link mode attribute (which can be dormant or default).
This attribute is used to control how the link watch engine
handles operstate transistion.
This adds a new parameter to ip link command to allow setting and
displaying the value.
---
* update synopsis to match "ip address help" output
* specify IPv4, since "IP" is ambiguous
* remove deprecated site scope
* document lifetimes, home, and nodad
* update wording to make sense since page was split from the ip(8) page
* git rid of extra spaces
A new option -p is added to the arpd command that accepts
a time indicating the number of seconds
to wait between kernel arp table polling attempts.
The minimum value is .1 (100ms).
If not specified, polling defaults to 30 seconds.

The syntax used in the example on reordering in the manpage is inconsistent with

Add ip link command parsing for VF spoof checking enable/disable
V2 - Fixed problem with parsing of dump info on kernels that don't
support the spoof checking option and also wrapped the ifla_vf_info
structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from directly
accessing the structure
V3 - Improved parsing of vfinfo
V4 - Put Makefile back to proper list of subdirs
V5 - Remove struct ifla_vf_info, it is only used by the kernel
V6 - Make sure spoof check is reported by the driver - rtnl will set
it to -1 to indicate driver didn't report a value.

This patch adds detailed documentation for HFSC scheduler. It roughly
follows HFSC paper, but tries to not rely too much on math side of things.
Post-paper/Linux specific subjects (timer resolution, ul service curve, etc.)
are also discussed.
I've read it many times over, but it's a lengthy chunk of text - so try
to be understanding in case I made some mistakes.
tc-hfsc(7): explains algorithm in detail (very long)
tc-hfsc(8): explains command line options briefly

$ ip route help 2>&1 | grep monitor
ip route { add | del | change | append | replace | monitor } ROUTE
$ ip route monitor
Command "monitor" is unknown, try "ip route help".
(I guess what was really intended is "ip monitor route", so just remove
the argument from the help output.)

The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.
This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.
Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>. For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.
File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.
This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME
ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace. ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

The ip(8) man page and the "ip xfrm [ XFRM-OBJECT ] help" command output
are updated to include missing options, fix errors, and improve grammar.
There are no functional changes made.
The documentation for the ip command has many different meanings for the
same formatting symbols (which really needs to be fixed). This patch makes
consistent use of brackets [ ] to indicate optional parameters, pipes | to
mean "OR", braces { } to group things together, and dashes - instead of
underscores _ inside of parameter names. The parameters are listed in the
order in which they are parsed in the source code.
There are several parameters and options that are still not mentioned or
need to be described more thoroughly in the "COMMAND SYNTAX" section of
the ip(8) man page. I would appreciate help from the developers with this.

Since July 2008 (2.6.27, c1e20f7c8b9), the kernel stores the values for
RTAX_{RTT{,VAR},RTO_MIN} in milliseconds. When using a kernel > 2.6.27 with
the current iproute2, conversion of these values is broken in either way.
This patch
* updates the code to pass and retrieve milliseconds;
* since values < 1msec would be rounded up, also drops the usec/nsec variants;
* since there is no way to query kernel HZ, also drops the jiffies variant.
Arguments such as
rtt 3.23sec
rto_min 0xff
rto_min 0.200s
rttvar 25ms
now all work as expected when reading back previously set values.
Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.
So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
ip link set dev eth0 group default
Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
ip link set group default down
