There are a few options:

1) tag net devices with 'systemd' in a udev rule and have units act on  
that
2) use connman
3) use networkmanager

Option 1 will allow you to keep /etc/network/interfaces, which is what  
ifupdown uses. If you're a plain dhcp user, use connman, you can't  
beat the speed of its builtin dhcp client.
