-                <para>Network files must have the extension <filename>.network</filename>;
-                other extensions are ignored. Networks are applied to links whenever the links
-                appear.</para>
-
-                <para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the files located in the

-                the volatile runtime network directory
-                <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration
-                network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>.
-                All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
-                regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
-                identical filenames replace each other. Files in
-                <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
-                <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
-                name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
-                system-supplied configuration file with a local file if needed; a symlink in
-                <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a configuration file in
