$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man8/ip.8.bz2 iproute2-2.6.23-alt2 $ "man ip" shows the following: Route tables: Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing tables identified by a number in the range from 1 to 255 or by name from the file /etc/iproute2/rt_tables main table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes. whereas the source has more text at this place hwich makes sense: .P .B Route tables: Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing tables identified by a number in the range from 1 to 255 or by name from the file .B /etc/iproute2/rt_tables . By default all normal routes are inserted into the .B main table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes. man-1.6f-alt1 (and man-1.6f-alt11 from Sisyphus) reproduce this.

В связи с полным отсутствием интереса к древнему Branch 4.1 ставлю WONTFIX.
