Your observations are correct. rtnetlink can't/shouldn't be doing conversions
itself. The 'ip' command should use a consistent unit for all values and
do conversions if necessary.
That being the case I'll start looking to see what is involved in
"leveraging" the time conversion stuff in tc for

The api in netlink should be in milliseconds rather than compensating
in the application (iproute2).
My understanding of the in-kernel rtnetlink code is far from complete,
but it doesn't seem to have much in the way of provisions for unit
conversion, which would suggest no nice suffix-based u

Build upon David Miller's initial patches to set the per-route rto_min
so users can specify the rto_min in the same units (milliseconds) in
which they are displayed. This is desirable because asking users to
convert to and from jiffies themselves, when there can be different
