The deprecated net-tools package contains all legacy network tools such as ipconfig, route, arp, etc. Since tools from net-tools are now obsolete, it is best practice to move towards using the replacement commands provided by iproute2.
The following table maps the old net-tools commands to the new iproute2 commands.
