[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Add FDB support

[Rauta, Alin]

For now I'm concerned with the FDB entries. 
They are in the .network files following the logic of [Address] & [Route] sections.

Hmm

So it can grow quite large with multiple entries along with all the other bridging features.

At this point in time I'm actually wondering if it would not be better to introduce type .bridge networkd file to cover all current and future bridge features ( for example you probably want to be able to define that 802.1ad tag in an [Bridge] section as well right? )  as opposed to be cluttering the .network file with all of those options.

Do you have any number of how many various type bridge entries will need to be supported by networkd in the long run?
