Subject: Re: TC-pedit man page examples error

Hello Phil,

Thank you for taking my message. I have gotten a solution working so
feel free to ignore the rest of this email. By vanilla iproute2 do you
mean the latest package through the yum or apt repository? All I can
tell you is that in the example I gave the iproute2 package was the
latest one through the RHEL 7 yum repository. Otherwise I will need
clarification on what vanilla means. I attempted the above example
code on two other Ubuntu machines, one of which I can confirm is
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Unfortunately I am not at that machine right now so
I cannot give you the output. Both machines gave similar error
messages. The reason I emailed you via netdev was because the example
code I used was taken verbatim from the tc-pedit man page on my
machine. The man page also gave me email addresses to contact in case
an error was found with the man page, which is what I did. I did get
the code to work when using the latest version of iproute2, so I
assume the only practical solution is to manually install the latest
version of iproute2 or wait for the various distros of Linux to use
updated iproute2. I appreciate your help. Have a nice day.
