To clarify, that's "ip route get <ip>". You can use shortcuts, but for
examples for beginners that may not be wise.

Another reason to use iproute2 ("ip") is that "route" is deprecated, and
cannot display all of the things iproute2 now reveals. Such as multiple
routes, metrics, or sources (such as from zebra/quagga). Finally, "ip rule"
helps you to see policy routes like source-based routing. "route" cannot do
any of that.
