Ip does a lot more than ifconfig, including setting up routing tables
and tunnelling, to name but two.
You might also wish to take a look at the two with a "ls -l" (they're
both in /sbin/), as well as the rpm packages each is in.
Ifconfig is rather deprecated, but the package it comes in (net-tools)
isn't.. for example, there is nothing in iproute2 to set a system's
hostname.
