Looking at the kernel commit, "on" seems to be the default value:

bridge: Add a flag to control unicast packet flood.
Add a flag to control flood of unicast traffic. By default, flood is
on and the bridge will flood unicast traffic if it doesn't know
the destination. When the flag is turned off, unicast traffic
without an FDB will not be forwarded to the specified port.
... and it seems to be the reasonable thing to do by default.
Rename to follow the follow the style of other options.
In general "positive" options are preferred to "negative" ones,
because they are easier to describe and easier for humans to
parse (c.f. the shortening on the man page entry).
- Make sure that the IPv6PrivacyExtensions=yes results in
prefer-temporary, not prefer-public.
- Introduce special enum value "kernel" to leave setting unset, similar
how we have it for the IP forwarding settings.
- Bring the enum values in sync with the the strings we parse for them,
to the level this makes sense (specifically, rename "disabled" to
"no", and "prefer-temporary" to "yes").
- Make sure we really set the value to to "no" by default, the way it is
already documented in the man page.
- Fix whitespace error.
- Make sure link_ipv6_privacy_extensions() actually returns the correct
enum type, rather than implicitly casting it to "bool".
- properly size formatting buffer for ipv6 sysctl value
- Don't complain if /proc/sys isn't writable
- Document that the enum follows the kernel's own values (0 = off, 1 =
prefer-public, 2 = prefer-temporary)
- Drop redundant negating of error code passed to log_syntax()
- Manpage fixes
This fixes a number of issues from PR #417
This patch add support for ipv6 privacy extensions.
The variable /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<if>/use_tempaddr
can be changed via the boolean
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=[yes/no/prefer-temporary]
When true enables privacy extensions, but prefer public addresses over
temporary addresses.
prefer-temporary prefers temporary adresses over public addresses.
Defaults to false.

In 5a8bcb674f, IPForwarding was introduced
to set forwarding flags on interfaces in .network files. networkd sets
forwarding options regardless of the previous setting, even if it was
set by e.g. sysctl. This commit creates a new option for IPForwarding,
"kernel", that preserves the sysctl settings rather than always setting
them.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89509 for the initial
bug report.
previously hostname_is_valid was used to validate domain names, which
would silently drop perfectly valid dns names that were longer than a
single dns label.
This patch add support to create vti6 tunnel
test:

This makes adds a couple of fixes:
- Introduces log_netdev_error_errno() and friends, which takes an error
number, and matches what log_link_error_errno() and friends do.
- Replaces a lof ot strerror() usage with log_netdev_error_errno(),
log_link_error_errno() and log_erro_errno()
- Uppercases the first character of many log messages, after all this is
supposed to be english language
- Drops manual negating of error codes before passing them to log
functions, the log functions all do that internally anyway.
Some other minor fixes.
Behaviour should not change really.
Introduce BindCarrier= to indicate the set of links that determine if
the current link should be brought UP or DOWN.
[tomegun: add a bit to commit message]
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
This allows the admin to set the host-specific part of IPv6 addresses, but still
receive the prefix via SLAAC.
.network file snippet:
[Network]
IPv6Token=::12
gives:
$ ip token
token ::12 dev eth0
This closes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81177.
This allows both IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses to be enabled or disabled. By default
we still enable IPv6LL and disable IPv4LL. The old config option is kept for backwards
compatibility, but removed from the documentation.
This patch introduces ipv6 gre and gretap.

This introduces am AddressFamilyBoolean type that works more or less
like a booleaan, but can optionally turn on/off things for ipv4 and ipv6
independently. THis also ports the DHCP field over to it.
This adds two new settings to networkd's .network files:
IPForwarding=yes and IPMasquerade=yes. The former controls the
"forwarding" sysctl setting of the interface, thus controlling whether
IP forwarding shall be enabled on the specific interface. The latter
controls whether a firewall rule shall be installed that exposes traffic
coming from the interface as coming from the local host to all other
interfaces.
This also enables both options by default for container network
interfaces, thus making "systemd-nspawn --network-veth" have network
connectivity out of the box.
Let's stick to generic sections that describe the general technology,
instead of specific per-object sections, unless we really have a reason
to do that otherwise.
This has been requested repeatedly, so let's give it a go. We explicitly do not allow matching
on names that have already been changed (from a previous udev run, or otherwise), and matching
on unpredictable names (ethX) is discouraged (but not currently disallowed).
We also currently allow:
[Match]
Name=veth0
[Link]
Name=my-name0
SomeOtherSetting=true
Which means that the link file will be applied the first time it is invoked, but
not on subsequent invocations, which may be surprising.
This patch add support to specify path cost of the
bridge port to be configured via conf file.
Exampe: conf

Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | while read f; do perl -i.mmm -e \
'local $/;
local $_=<>;
s/(if\s*\([^\n]+\))\s*{\n(\s*)(log_[a-z_]*_errno\(\s*([->a-zA-Z_]+)\s*,[^;]+);\s*return\s+\g4;\s+}/\1\n\2return \3;/msg;
print;'
$f
done
And a couple of manual whitespace fixups.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
This lets the routing metric for links to be specified per-network,
still defaulting to DHCP_ROUTE_METRIC (1024) if unspecified. Hopefully
this helps with multiple interfaces configured via DHCP.
This causes machines without connectivity to hang where they would otherwise fail. Keep it
opt-in for now, but consider whether we sholud just drop it.
This is necessary for non-ipv4ll hosts to communicate with ipv4ll-only hosts on the same link. Defaults
to being enabled, but can be opted out.
See: <http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd#Routes>
Special care is needed so that we get an error message if the
file failed to parse, but not when it is missing. To avoid duplicating
the same error check in every caller, add an additional 'warn' boolean
to tell config_parse whether a message should be issued.
This makes things both shorter and more robust wrt. to error reporting.
Vendor Class Identifier be used by DHCP clients to identify
their vendor type and configuration. When using this option,
vendors can define their own specific identifier values, such
as to convey a particular hardware or operating system
configuration or other identifying information.
Vendor-specified DHCP options—features that let administrators assign
separate options to clients with similar configuration requirements.
For example, if DHCP-aware clients for example we want to separate
different gateway and option for different set of people
(dev/test/hr/finance) in a org or devices for example web/database
servers or let's say in a embedded device etc and require a different
default gateway or DNS server than the rest of clients.
Send hostname (option 12) in DISCOVER and REQUEST messages so the
DHCP server could use it to register with dynamic DNS and such.
To opt-out of this behaviour set SendHostname to false in [DHCP]
section of .network file
[tomegun: rebased, made sure a failing set_hostname is a noop and moved
config from DHCPv4 to DHCP]
This adds support for DHCP options 33 and 121: Static Route and
Classless Static Route. To enable this feature, set UseRoutes=true
in .network file. Returned routes are added to the routing table.
This essentially swaps the roles of rtnl and udev in networkd. After this
change libudev is only used for waiting for udev to initialize devices and
to get udev-specific information needed for some [Match] attributes.
This in particular simplifies the code in containers where udev is not really
useful, but also simplifies things and reduces round-trips in the non-container
case.
This does not belong in shared as it is mostly a detail of our networking subsystem.
Moreover, now we can use libudev here, which will simplify things.
Also limit the range of vlan ids. Other implementations and
documentation use the ranges {0,1}-{4094,4095}, but we use
the one accepted by the kernel: 0-4094.

This adds support to generate a basic resolv.conf in /run/systemd/network.
This file will not take any effect unless a symlink is created from
/etc/resolv.conf.
Nameservers received over DHCP takes precedence over statically configured ones.
Note: /etc/resolv.conf is severely limited, so in the future we will likely
rather provide a much more powerfull nss plugin (or something to that effect),
but this should allow current users to function without any loss of
functionality.
We don't know if the config will be consistent, so do as systemd itself and only
load config when the daemon starts (and possibly, in the future, when explicitly requested).
These keys are mandatory in [Address]/[Route] sections. Otherwise, we
hit an assert:
ens3: setting addresses
Assertion 'address->family == 2 || address->family == 10' failed at /build/amd64-generic/tmp/portage/sys-apps/systemd-9999-r1/work/systemd-9999/src/network/networkd-address.c:137, function address_configure(). Aborting.

At the same time make sure Route's Destination and Gateway uses the same address family.
Static addresses/routes are associated with a network. Dynamic
addresses/routes are associtade with links (as the corresponding network
may be shared by several links).
A bridge is specified in a .netdev file with a section [Bridge]
and at least the entry Name=.
A link may be joined to a bridge if the .network applied to it has
a Bridge= entry giving the name of the bridge in its [Network] section.
We eagerly create all bridges on startup, and links are added to
bridges as soon as they both appear.
This will allow specifying more options per address than the
simple Address= entry in the [Network] section.
Preliminary support for the same functionality for [Route] sections
are added, but not yet hooked up, as more testing is needed.
This daemon listens for and configures network devices tagged with
'systemd-networkd'. By default, no devices are tagged so this daemon
can safely run in parallel with existing network daemons/scripts.
Networks are configured in /etc/systemd/network/*.network. The first .network
file that matches a given link is applied. The matching logic is similar to
the one for .link files, but additionally supports matching on interface name.
The mid-term aim is to provide an alternative to ad-hoc scripts currently used
in initrd's and for wired setups that don't change much (e.g., as seen on
servers/and some embedded systems).
Currently, static addresses and a gateway can be configured.
Example .network file:
[Match]
Name=wlp2s0
[Network]
Description=My Network
Gateway=192.168.1.1
Address=192.168.1.23/24
Address=fe80::9aee:94ff:fe3f:c618/64
