This changes the UseDomains= setting of .network files to take an optional third value "route", in addition to the
boolean values. If set, the passed domain information is used for routing rules only, but not for the search path
logic.
All booleans called dhcp_xyz are now called ".dhcp_use_xyz", to match their respective configuration file settings. This
should clarify things a bit, in particular as there is a DHCP hostname that was previously called just ".hostname"
because ".dhcp_hostname" was already existing as a bool. Since this confusion is removed now because the bool is called
".dhcp_use_hostname", the string field is now renamed to ".dhcp_hostname".
Previously, .network files only knew a vaguely defined "Domains=" concept, for which the documentation declared it was
the "DNS domain" for the network connection, without specifying what that means.
With this the Domains setting is reworked, so that there are now "routing" domains and "search" domains. The former are
to be used by resolved to route DNS request to specific network interfaces, the latter is to be used for searching
single-label hostnames with (in addition to being used for routing). Both settings are configured in the "Domains="
setting. Normal domain names listed in it are now considered search domains (for compatibility with existing setups),
while those prefixed with "~" are considered routing domains only. To route all lookups to a specific interface the
routing domain "." may be used, referring to the root domain. An alternative syntax for this is the "*", as was already
implemented before using the "wildcard" domain concept.
This commit adds proper parsers for this new logic, and exposes this via the sd-network API. This information is not
used by resolved yet, this will be added in a later commit.
networkd previously knew an enum "ResolveSupport" for configuring
per-interface LLMNR support, resolved had a similar enum just called
"Support", with the same value and similar pasers.
Unify this, call the enum ResolveSupport, and port both daemons to it.
The constraints we place on the pool is that it is a contiguous
sequence of addresses in the same subnet as the server address, not
including the subnet nor broadcast addresses, but possibly including
the server address itself. If the server address is included in the
pool it is (obviously) reserved and not handed out to clients.
Justification is similar to BPDUGuard rename. "Positive" values
are easier. This is a rather uncommon option, so using a slightly
longer name should not be a problem, and may in fact may make it
easier to guess what the option does without reading the
documentation.
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).
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.
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]
For now we only support the hardcoded values RT_SCOPE_{UNIVERSE,LOCAL,HOST},
and not numerical values or values from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes.
This addresses https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88508.
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 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 patch add support to specify path cost of the
bridge port to be configured via conf file.

br-test state disabled priority 32 cost 332
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 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>
It appears there is no good way to decide whether or not broadcasts should be enabled,
there is hardware that must have broadcast, and there are networks that only allow
unicast. So we give up and make this configurable.
By default, unicast is used, but if the kernel were to inform us abotu certain
interfaces requiring broadcast, we could change this to opt-in by default in
those cases.
