Done a few days ago. The new canonical URLs for those repos are:
    pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2
    pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next

So clone URLs
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next.git
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next.git
and
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git
