AFAIK nobody has been updating the protocol manpages since I stopped doing so several years ago when they were included into the standard manpages. There are lots of missing features etc. that could be documented, the BUGS sections are usually out of date etc. It is roughly at the state of early 2.3. There is also unfortunately no policy to require a manpage update when a new feature is added to the kernel. Some manpages have been even never fully written like the ipv6 manpage. Perhaps someone is interested in updating all these? It unfortunately needs quite a lot of RTFS to figure out what the code actually does. -Andi
