Maximilian Wilhelm and Aaron A. Glenn
This talk will present ifupdown-ng, a new project by the Network Services Association intended as a drop-in replacement for ifupdown1 and ifupdown2 installations. Presently, Alpine and Debian are the primary supported environments. Support for other Linux distributions and BSD is planned.
With its modular design, ifupdown-ng intends to allow flexibility for today's modern networking setups, while being easy to extend.
There are many different ways to configure networking on Linux. Debian and Alpine use ifupdown1, and Cumulus Networks invented ifupdown2; other distributions have various other systems, such as systemd-networkd and NetworkManager.
