SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI
resource into virtual PCI functions which can then be injected in
to a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south n
etwork performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the
host machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.
Add a "org.freedesktop.network1.DHCPServer" DBus interface that will be
added on a link path where a DHCP server is provided.
Currently, it only exposes a "Leases" property, although there are plans
to expand it further. The property is updated thanks to the
dhcp_server_callback().
Proportional Integral controller-Enhanced (PIE) is a control
theoretic active queue management scheme. It is based on the
proportional integral controller but aims to control delay.

Build option "link-networkd-shared" to build a statically linked
systemd-networkd by using
-Dlink-udev-shared=false -Dlink-networkd-shared=false
on systems with full systemd stack except systemd-networkd, such
as RHEL/CentOS 8.
Intermediate Functional Block
The Intermediate Functional Block (ifb) pseudo network interface acts as a QoS concentrator for multiple different sources of traffic. Packets from or to other interfaces have to be redirected to it using the mirred action in order to be handled, regularly routed traffic will be dropped. This way, a single stack of qdiscs, classes and filters can be shared between multiple interfaces.
Here's a simple example to feed incoming traffic from multiple interfaces through a Stochastic Fairness Queue (sfq):
(1) # modprobe ifb
(2) # ip link set ifb0 up
(3) # tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root sfq
Stochastic Fairness Queueing is a classless queueing discipline.
SFQ does not shape traffic but only schedules the transmission of packets, based on 'flows'.
The goal is to ensure fairness so that each flow is able to send data in turn,
thus preventing any single flow from drowning out the rest.
Media Access Control Security (MACsec) is an 802.1AE IEEE
industry-standard security technology that provides secure
communication for all traffic on Ethernet links.
MACsec provides point-to-point security on Ethernet links between
directly connected nodes and is capable of identifying and preventing
most security threats, including denial of service, intrusion,
man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping, and playback attacks.
Closes#5754
When using networkd we currently have no way of ensuring that static
neighbor entries are set when our link comes up. This change adds a new
section to the network definition that allows multiple static neighbors
to be set on a link.
This work add support to generic netlink to sd-netlink.
