• from initscripts:

 Currently, team masters and slaves are supported 
 via ifup-Team* and ifdown-Team* scripts shipped in 
 teamd package. It uses somehow ugly workaround where
 user have to specify DEVIVETYPE to "Team" or "TeamPort". 
 This turned out to be non-optimal solution as this is 
 confusing users. Also it does not work when TYPE is set. 
 So fix this by adding the team support hooks directly 
 into initscripts. Now for team port, user needs only to set: 
 TEAM_MASTER="teamx" and for team master, user needs only to set: 
 TEAM_CONFIG="...whatever..."

ppp support moved from initsccripts to ppp

""" The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon and documentation for PPP support. The PPP protocol provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is usually used to dial in to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or other organization over a modem and phone line. """

initscripts support for bridge prio, aging

( maybe also NetworkManager supports these? ) When using network.servoce, interface definitions in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for bridges can now include declarations for bridge priority and aging. Use these parameters:

 PRIO=<num>

• where <num> a number between 0 and 255 is used to determine the relative bridge priority. Useful for applications requiring multiple bridges. See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/advanced-bridge.html#STP for more details.

 AGEING=<NUM>

• where num is the number of seconds to keep a MAC address in the forwarding database after the last packet received from it. Usually does not need to be modified.
