RE: [LUG] ipchains, iptables or what

[Alex Charrett <Alex.Charrett at sis.securicor.co.uk>]

I'd never heard of iproute2 until just then.

I've had a quick net ferret and I reckon that iproute2 is not an iptables
replacement (iptables is indeed an ipchains replacement), but is an
additional program.

I'm not *too* sure what it does yet, but
http://www.braindump.dk/en/wiki/?wikipage=PolicyRouting

seems to indicate that you would use iproute2 in conjunction with iptables.

I do however, reserve the right to be completely wrong :)
