Dear Maintainer,

ip-route(8) is the manpage for the "ip route" command. I do agree with
Debian bug #535128 that IPv4 and IPv6 outputs of ip route should be
unified (as are the outputs of "ip addr"), but in addition to this,
the option -6 should be better documented in ip-route(8), as well als
the option -4.

Also the manpage is very light on IPv6 content, while still refering to
Linux kernels 2.x in quite a few places. This is probably only of
historical interest for current users. One or two IPv6 examples
would be nice, IMHO.

Thanks for considering,
Ralph Aichinger
