iptables is to create firewall chains
iproute2 contains 2 programs :
ip : For setting/changing all the ip configuration and routing
tc : For manipulating the bandwidth managing part of the kernel
But iptables and iproute can work together. You can mark packets with
iptables and use that mark to route packets or use that mark in the filters
you can add with tc.
More info about the iproute2 utility can be found on www.lartc.org.
