21- Policy based routing. Routing decisions are made on the basis
22  not only of destination address, but also source address,
23  TOS and incoming interface.
24- Complete set of IP level control messages.
25  Now Linux is the only OS in the world complying to RFC requirements.
26  Great win 8)
27- New interface addressing paradigm.
28  Assignment of address ranges to interface,
29  multiple prefixes etc. etc.
30  Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover:
31- You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore,
32  it is done automatically.
33- "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements.
34  This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library.
