Well, as it seems, iproute2 was created for policy routing, nat, QoS and tunnels for kernel 2.2. At least, that is what I have found on it's HOWTO pages.
I have failed to find etables though, so I have no idea what it does. I can make an educated guess that while IP alias scenario can be achieved on kernel 2.4 without any other external utility, on 2.2 it's achieved with iproute2.
