61     <para>Network files must have the extension
62     <filename>.network</filename>; other extensions are ignored.
63     Networks are applied to links whenever the links appear.</para>
64
65     <para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the
66     files located in the system network directory
67     <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile
68     runtime network directory
69     <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local
70     administration network directory
71     <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files
72     are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless
73     of the directories in which they live. However, files with
74     identical filenames replace each other. Files in
75     <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
76     <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
77     name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to
78     override a system-supplied configuration file with a local file if
79     needed; a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name
80     as a configuration file in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing
81     to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, disables the configuration file
