Tobias Jungel commented on LIBCLOUD-680:
----------------------------------------
Usually net-tools are installed, but recently I had a system that had not
installed net-tools. Some distros like arch even have net-tools labeled as
deprecated, though net-tools still can be installed since its used to frequent.
iproute2 is the successor of net-tools, hence I think its better to rely on ip.
If you like I can provide a patch for this.
> libvirt compute driver move from net-tools to iproute2

> {{arp}} should be replaced by {{ip neigh}} of iproute2.
