Well, it doesn't do what Yubin assumes it does, but it certainly does
something "useful": while it doesn't make the network *connectivity*
is up, it does make sure the network *subsystem* is. And that does have
uses: during shutdown it makes sure that your service is terminated
before the network subsystem goes away. During start-up otoh it is
indeed with little effect usually.

Nope. Use "network-online.target" if you are looking for a generic
unit to order after that is reached only after the network has been
"configured" for the first time, for some vague definition of
"configured", that is up to the networking implementation to fill with
sense...
