I want to introduce ip(8) or something similar in base.
Basically, I need some userland tool to explicitly operates on nexthops,
nexthop groups and fib lookup algorithms.
The existing tools are not well suited for the job: route(8) may be a
candidate, but (a) it would either add another bunch of
If you are not going to be compatible, use a different name. I don't
have good ideas, but something in the lines of "netctl" or similar
should do the trick.

From a consumer view I think we should be conservative and not add any
additional commands that operates in an area where there already exists well
known commands. Not sure i understand what new features you are contributing,
but the sound of it i guess it has to do with IP routing and fib’s. If

I completely agree with Mateus, if this isn't going to be the same
as Linux's iproute2's `ip`, it should have a different name.
Too similar in purpose and could be very confusing for many people.
Other than that, sounds good with me.
