[systemd-devel] systemd-networkd questions

[Dan Williams]

Hi,

Having watched the discussion over the past week or so, I'm left with a
few questions:

1) what is lacking in other userspace solutions (NetworkManager,
ConnMan, wicked, initscripts, etc) that requires
yet-another-network-daemon?

2) do you expect that systemd-networkd will grow to include bridge,
bond, and team setup?  how about other "enterprise"/"server" interface
types like macvlan/vtap, tun/tap, gre, vxlan, ovs, etc?  All these are
enterprise things that typically won't change during a specific bootup,
but which static "servers" increasingly use.  If you don't expect these
to be supported, why not?

3) Is there expected to be D-Bus interfaces for controlling or
monitoring the network interfaces and configuration data?  If not, why
not?

Thanks,
Dan
