No. The iproute2 utilities allow to set various things, such as ip addresses, routing entries or the traffic shaper. The iptables tool is responsible for the firewall and the rules in there - as well as some packet mangling and network address translation. You can combine both tools with the -j MARK directive .. rtfm ;-) - Thilo Schulz _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
