Public bug reported: Ubuntu's iproute2 version [1] is still many kernel versions behind. It's still on 4.9, whereas shipped kernel is on 4.13 in the meantime!
iproute2 is developed alongside the kernel, so new kernel features will also get updates to iproute2 whenever they change related code. Meaning, these features cannot be used out of the box if the actual shipped iproute2 version here is not on par with the kernel version (the release tags have 1:1 mapping with kernel releases) [2]. Please consider updating iproute2 package, and please also consider updating it regularly along with officially shipped kernels in Ubuntu, so that all the added networking features can be used there without forcing users to do a manual compilation of iproute2.
