A side note related to using something other than systemd-networkd we have a pair of 18.04 routers using keepalived, quagga, and bgpd. We've disabled systemd-networkd entirely because it breaks with full BGP routing tables: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11575 We also observed if systemd-networkd restarts successfully with a full table in place, it uses ~1.2GB RSS RAM, until the process is killed. Workaround is to use quagga for the static IP assignments and keepalived for the floating IPs and local routes. Is there any plan to support ifupdown or quagga as a netplan "renderer"?
