- not only of destination address, but also source address,
- TOS and incoming interface.
-- Complete set of IP level control messages.

-- New interface addressing paradigm.
- Assignment of address ranges to interface,
- multiple prefixes etc. etc.
- Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover:
-- You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore,
- it is done automatically.
-- "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements.
- This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library.
