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

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.
