(Sorry, I don't know your name) I recently noticed a discrepancy: the internal documentation for the ip command says that an *RTT* value can be sufficed with "s" (second) or "ms" (millisecond), but in practice no suffix of any kind is accepted. I found that that commit 697ac63905cb5ca5389cd840462ee9868123b77f to git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git caused this regression; it was over-zealous in disallowing non-digits in *all* contexts where a number is expected. As far as I can tell, this does not have any kernel-related impact, merely it affects what arguments are accepted by the "ip" command. I have a suitable patch for fixing this; what is the procedure for submitting it? -Martin
