The original "ip" command and the new one ("/tmp/ip") both give the same results--some of the entries are missing.

However, if I specifically try to print out one of the missing entries, it shows up:

root@typhoon-base-unit0:/root> /tmp/ip neigh show 192.168.24.81
192.168.24.81 dev bond2 lladdr 00:01:af:14:e9:8a REACHABLE


From a kernel perspective there are only complete dumps, the
filtering is done by iproute. So the fact that it shows them
when querying specifically implies there is a bug in the
iproute neighbour filter. Does it work if you omit "all"
from the ip neigh show command?
