Misunderstanding Alexey Kuznetsov
In the page there is a statement: The original author, Alexey Kuznetsov, was responsible for the QoS implementation in the Linux kernel.

I don't know if exists another Alexey Kuznetsov but i'm pretty sure that the one tho whom the link refers didn't develope anything for the linux kernel.

Inaccurate definition
I find the current definition inaccurate because there certainly are Linux kernel components which iproute2 doesn't communicate to. Currently it says:
 * iproute2 is a collection of userspace utilities used to communicate with various Linux kernel components over the netlink protocol.

I suggest to change that to:
 * iproute2 is a collection of user space utilities for controlling and monitoring various aspects of networking in the Linux kernel.

'over the netlink protocol' is also redundant in the definition but it can be mentioned elsewhere to clarify how it operates.--RamachandraTimoteus (talk) 09:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

iproute (version 1) versus iproute2
This article is conspicuously lacking any discussion of "iproute" (i.e., iproute version 1). What was the original iproute? I looked hard and couldn't find any evidence of it. I added an edit trying to explain that when people refer to "iproute" they generally mean "iproute2", but this was removed by. The Linux Foundation page on this tool says this: "iproute2 is usually shipped in a package called iproute or iproute2" - I believe I found a repository which named it this but I can't remember. It's a gap that needs to be filled. II | (t - c) 23:07, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Deprecation table
I think that the table which lists all the tools should list all the iproute2 utils in the left column, and then in the second column list which tool(s) from net-tools it replaces. This article is about iproute2, not net-utils. The table in it's current state does belong to an article about net-tools, imho. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Initramfs (talk • contribs) 21:49, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
