I agree that the documentation for 'ip' is sparse or hard to grok. 
 Learn by example.  I have some scripts on http://blue-labs.org/, the 
rc.* scripts.  These two scripts are my live scripts and cover a lot of 
things from simple to advanced.

(comments appreciated for corrections or improvements)
