iproute2: man page and /bin/ip disagree on del vs delete
Reported by Robert Henney:
> the 'ip' man page does not mention the command "del" at all but does
> claim, "As a rule, it is possible to add, delete and show (or list ) objects".
> however, 'ip' does not always recognize "delete" as a commend.

> Command "delete" is unknown, try "ip tunnel help".
Lets use "delete" in all calls to matches() for consistency. This will
make both "del" and "delete" work everywhere.

iproute2: trivial fix of ip link syntax in manpage
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is outdated regarding the compulsory `link DEVICE` option.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.

iproute2: allow IPv6 addresses for l2tp local and remote parameters
Adds support for parsing IPv6 addresses to the parameters local and
remote in the l2tp commands. Requires netlink attributes L2TP_ATTR_IP6_SADDR
and L2TP_ATTR_IP6_DADDR, added in a required kernel patch already submitted
to netdev.
Also enables printing of IPv6 addresses returned by the L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_GET
request.

iproute2: Add netlink attribute to filter dump requests
Add a new netlink attribute type to the dump request to allow
filtering of the information returned for the respective matching
interfaces. At this time the only filter defined is to request
virtual function (VF) device info for interfaces that attached VFs.
It will also be possible to extend the request with other yet to be
defined netlink attributes in the future.

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.

There is nothing in the standard that says 0 can't be used as a key.
It makes sense to allow it. Also fix typo where ikey was printed for
when printing okey.

Update ip address manual page
* 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
As reported by Thomas Mühlgrabner <muehltom@cable.vol.at>
in http://bugs.debian.org/662979 :
When showing htb class configuration with "tc -iec class show",
the output for Mibit is actually the value for bit.
Example: configure a class with a ceil of 1000Mibit.
Output states 1048576000 Mibit.
The cause is missing parenteses in the display code of tc....
(Please also note that a lower value of 100Mibit will be displayed
as 102400 Kibit, which I think is kind of ugly.)

A new option -p is added to the arpd command that accepts

The syntax used in the example on reordering in the manpage is inconsistent with
the usage syntax. Moreover, the text does not describe the reordering process
in the kernel correctly. This patch fixes these two issues.
(Resending patch since it looks like my earlier mail did not make it to
netdev).
netem reordering requires that the delay parameter be given. Currently, if no
delay is given, tc prints the error message but still installs the qdisc. Fix
this by printing the usage and failing cleanly.

sfq: add optional RED on top of SFQ
Adds an optional Random Early Detection on each SFQ flow queue.
Traditional SFQ limits count of packets, while RED permits to also
control number of bytes per flow, and adds ECN capability as well.
1) We dont handle the idle time management in this RED implementation,
since each 'new flow' begins with a null qavg. We really want to address
backlogged flows.
2) if headdrop is selected, we try to ecn mark first packet instead of
currently enqueued packet. This gives faster feedback for tcp flows
compared to traditional RED [ marking the last packet in queue ]
Example of use :
tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1 handle 10: est 1sec 4sec sfq \
limit 3000 headdrop flows 512 divisor 16384 \
redflowlimit 100000 min 8000 max 60000 probability 0.20 ecn
In this test, with 64 netperf TCP_STREAM sessions, 50% using ECN enabled
flows, we can see number of packets CE marked is smaller than number of
drops (for non ECN flows)
If same test is run, without RED, we can check backlog is much bigger.
This patch add rate shaping as well as cell support. The link-rate can be
specified via rate options. Three optional arguments control the cell
knobs: packet-overhead, cell-size, cell-overhead. To ratelimit eth0 root
queue to 5kbit/s, with a 20 byte packet overhead, 100 byte cell size and
a 5 byte per cell overhead:
