How "ip address" command differs from ifconfig command.
Most of the commands are just a interface to the Kernel API.
ifconfig provides less interfaces and ip provides more.
In many cases, fine grained interfaces are necessary. One good example is
where we want to bring only a link down. ifconfig can only bring an
interface down which means IP address flush and link down. ip command can
preserve the addresses and just bring the link down.
