== Consistent network device naming ==

Fedora 18 continues previous releases' use of '''biosdevname''' to set network device names in a deterministic manner. Ethernet ports embedded on server motherboards will be named <code>em<port_number></code>, while ports on PCI cards will be named <code>p<slot_number>p<port_number></code>, corresponding to the chassis labels. This feature may be disabled by passing <code>"biosdevname=0"</code> on the kernel command line, in which case, behavior will revert to using ethX names.
=== 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.

== better network security with firewalld ==
=== initscripts support for bridge prio, aging ===
'''firewalld''' will be the default firewall solution for Fedora 18, replacing '''iptables'''. Using '''firewalld'''will allow for application of policy changes without reloading, allowing connection states to stay unbroken when rules are changed.  
( 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.


A D-BUS interface allows approved applications to communicate status and present complex or temporary needs to the firewall without requiring hand configuration by an administrator. This improves support for dynamic environments like libvirtd, which previously had to be restarted when iptables rules were changed.
  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.
Manual administration can be done with firewall-cmd. Documentation on firewalld can be found in the included manpages, firewall-cmd(1), firewalld(1), firewalld.conf(5), firewalld.icmptype(5), firewalld.service(5), firewalld.zone(5).
 
== Team Driver improves NIC bonding ==
Fedora 18 includes Team Driver which facilitates grouping of multiple network interfaces together so they act like a single network interface. This extends teaming possibilities provided by existing bonding driver. It also provides userspace driven, modular alternative to bonding driver. Usage information can be found in man teamd.conf(5), man teamd(8), and man teamdctl(8).

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>

 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.
