br_dev_newlink: does not have the this functionality to set while
creation.
br_changelink: after creation we can change the parameters.
we need to first create then set it the parameters.
Introduce new callback post_create .This should
set the properties after the creation.
By default we set as NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_EXCL in
sd_rtnl_message_new_link
But incase of bridge we need to set NLM_F_REQUEST | NLM_F_ACK.
If NLM_F_EXCL is set then we are unable to set the parameters. As bridge
supports setting properties after creation not during creation.

This patch adds support to configure IFF_VNET_HDR flag
for a tap device. It allows whether sending and receiving
large pass larger (GSO) packets. This greatly increases the
achievable throughput.
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.

The Zyxel switch sends port subtype as Locally assigned (7).
Add LLDP_PORT_SUBTYPE_LOCALLY_ASSIGNED as supported type
reported by Mantas Mikulėnas <grawity@gmail.com>
This patch introduces LLDP support to networkd. it implements the
receiver side of the protocol.
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an industry-standard,
vendor-neutral method to allow networked devices to advertise
capabilities, identity, and other information onto a LAN. The Layer 2
protocol, detailed in IEEE 802.1AB-2005.LLDP allows network devices
that operate at the lower layers of a protocol stack (such as
Layer 2 bridges and switches) to learn some of the capabilities
and characteristics of LAN devices available to higher
layer protocols.
This patch add support to specify path cost of the
bridge port to be configured via conf file.

TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT Allow a listener to be awakened only when data
arrives on the socket. If TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT set on a server-side
listening socket, the TCP/IP stack will not to wait for the final
ACK packet and not to initiate the process until the first packet
of real data has arrived. After sending the SYN/ACK, the server will
then wait for a data packet from a client. Now, only three packets
will be sent over the network, and the connection establishment delay
will be significantly reduced.
The tcp keep alive variables now can be configured via conf
parameter. Follwing variables are now supported by this patch.
tcp_keepalive_intvl: The number of seconds between TCP keep-alive probes
tcp_keepalive_probes: The maximum number of TCP keep-alive probes to
send before giving up and killing the connection if no response is
obtained from the other end.
tcp_keepalive_time: The number of seconds a connection needs to be
idle before TCP begins sending out keep-alive probes.
TCP Fast Open (TFO) speeds up the opening of successiveTCP)
connections between two endpoints.It works by using a TFO cookie
in the initial SYN packet to authenticate a previously connected
client. It starts sending data to the client before the receipt
of the final ACK packet of the three way handshake is received,
skipping a round trip and lowering the latency in the start of
transmission of data.
This patch adds support for TCP TCP_NODELAY socket option. This can be
configured via NoDelay conf parameter. TCP Nagle's algorithm works by
combining a number of small outgoing messages, and sending them all at
once. This controls the TCP_NODELAY socket option.
The following bond options are supported by this patch.
MIIMonitorSec:
Specifies the frequency in milli-seconds that MII link
monitoring will occur.
UpDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to enable a link
after a link up status has been detected.
DownDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to disable a link
after a link failure has been detected.

1. Added gconf variables.

Vendor Class Identifier be used by DHCP clients to identify
their vendor type and configuration. When using this option,
vendors can define their own specific identifier values, such
as to convey a particular hardware or operating system
configuration or other identifying information.
Vendor-specified DHCP options—features that let administrators assign
separate options to clients with similar configuration requirements.
For example, if DHCP-aware clients for example we want to separate
different gateway and option for different set of people
(dev/test/hr/finance) in a org or devices for example web/database
servers or let's say in a embedded device etc and require a different
default gateway or DNS server than the rest of clients.
