Because that is how you apply a diff file.  MPLS is not native to iproute2,
so I have modified it to work with MPLS.  I distribute these changes in the

Files that end in 'ps' usually are postscript files.  You need to use
a postscript reader like 'ghostview' to view them.

Did you do a 'make install'? Where did it install 'ip'?  Is that the same
as '/sbin/ip'
