the new technology is called iproute2. Iproute2 is far more flexible than conventional routing, and the `ip address add` command is the very basic introduction to it.
Put simply, all the old rules are gone with regards to Interfaces, IP addresses and such. Add as many IPs to one interface as you wish, and add any and all policy to them. Nice.
