Some of them are so trivial, that it looks like nobody is working
on it:
$ rpm -ql initscripts | xargs egrep "/route |/ifconfig " --color
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network: /sbin/route add -$args
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases:eval $(LC_ALL= LANG= /sbin/ifconfig | LC_ALL=C sed -n '
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: LC_ALL=C /sbin/route -n \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: /sbin/ifconfig $parent_device:${DEVNUM} down
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: /sbin/ifconfig $parent_device:$rdevip down
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: /sbin/ifconfig $DEVICE netmask $NETMASK broadcast $BROADCAST;
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: /sbin/ifconfig ${DEVICE} ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases: /sbin/ifconfig $parent_device:${DEVNUM} down
net-tools is obsolete since '99 (Red Hat Linux 6.0 - Linux-2.2),
*12 years* ago!
It's a *shame* that all leading distributions, still rely on the
old *BSD way to do networking.
