If you post a patchset it would be nice if it also cover the other scaling features and to have an "auto" or "yes" mode that sets it up magically for you.

[systemd-devel] Configure netdev RPS using systemd-networkd
Hi, We want to implement our networking using systemd-networkd. We think systemd is stable enough right now, so we want to try more "systemd-only" solution. In our environment, we use RPS (Receive Packet Steering) for load balancing and scaling. It's a kernel feature implemented a long time ago. You could visit the documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/scaling.html. Currently, we manually do this after network interface is configured: echo f > /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus where f is bitmap mask , it means to utilize 4 cpus. Will this use case be implemented in systemd-networkd? Or should we use a third party solution such as networkd-broker or networkd-dispatcher? Thanks.
