[Leaplist] What are my local IP addresses?

[Kyle Gonzales]

You might be seeing the IPv6 representation for the interface.

Using the ip command also shows you things like what sorts of traffic
queueing/shaping, if any, are applied to the interface:

4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

It will also show you virtual IPs that the interface answers for, in
case where say you were using a clustering solution (like Red Hat
Cluster Suite or the associated Fedora packages) and there was an IP
address added for a fail-over service.

The ip command is the next generation, and will eventually replace
ifconfig, route, and other networking command.  Of course, they have
been saying that for years...
