| PackageDescription | Pyroute2 is a pure Python **netlink** and Linux **network configuration**
library. It requires only Python stdlib, no 3rd party libraries.
Later it can change, but the deps tree will remain as simple, as
it is possible.
The library provides several modules:
* Netlink protocol implementations (RTNetlink, TaskStats, etc)
* **rtnl**, network settings --- addresses, routes, traffic controls
* **nl80211** --- wireless functions API (work in progress)
* **nfnetlink** --- netfilter API: **ipset** (work in progress), ...
* **ipq** --- simplest userspace packet filtering, iptables QUEUE target
* **taskstats** --- extended process statistics
* Simple netlink socket object, that can be used in poll/select
* Network configuration module IPRoute provides API that in some
way resembles ip/tc functionality
* IPDB is an async transactional database of Linux network settings |
