We are planning to reuse the same infrastructure provided by iproute2,
like netlink parsing, access to distributions, same CLI and same standards.

Right now, RDMA is already tightened to netdev: iWARP, RoCE, IPoIB, HFI-VNIC.
Many drivers (mlx, qed, i40, cxgb) are sharing code between net and
RDMA.

I do expect that iproute2 will be installed on every machine with any
type of connection, including IB and OPA.

So I think that it is enough to be part of that suite and don't invent
our own for one specific tool.

Thanks
