Twenty-two of the 43 commands focus on network operations, divided by functional layer:

Forwarding is wrong for a whole prefixRoutes and next hops

The data plane is Argo, and it keeps its own forwarding state separate from the Linux kernel’s. ip shows you what Linux believes; rt, nh and vif show you what actually forwards traffic. When those two disagree, the data plane wins.
