Network configuration packages
IPv4 and IPv6 configuration stacks
| Package | Description | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| NetworkManager | Network connection manager and user applications | good |
| dhcpcd | A minimalistic network configuration daemon with DHCPv4, rdisc and DHCPv6 support | good |

| Package | Description | Assessment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| dhcp | Dynamic host configuration protocol software | good | |
| iproute | Advanced IP routing and network device configuration tools | good | |
| dnssec-trigger | NetworkManager plugin to update/reconfigure DNSSEC resolving | good | |
| iptables | Tools for managing Linux kernel packet filtering capabilities | good | |
| iputils | Network monitoring tools including ping | bad | tracepath and possibly other tools don't behave correctly |
| fping | bad | lack of IPv6 support | |
| nslookup | bad | bad default behavior | |
| arptables | N/A | IPv4 only | |
| arpwatch | N/A | IPv4 only | |
