Hi Erich,

I wonder if this comment may be helpful to have a better understanding
of the package "networking".

This is quoted from networking/doc/install.tex and I don't think that it
is necessary by default unless compute nodes should have DNS resolution.
That's why we disabled the package "networking" by default.
But I don't think that it is bad or unreliable. Just we have not needed
to turn it on by default.
