Yes. iproute2 is supposed to compatible with older kernels.
Obviously, if you try to use some new feature on older kernel, an error
will result.

Hi Stephen :
I was looking around but could not find clear evidence that a later
version of iproute2 is compatible with an older kernel. Specifically,
we are wondering if iproute2 v 3.6 is compatible with linux kernel
3.4. Highly appreciate any pointers on this.
thanks
ani

We try hard to keep iproute2 compatible with all kernels.
