CentOS - Aug 2016 - Systemd and network startup/shutdown ?

I've just started to dip my toe in the water with CentOS 7 - and have 
started looking at porting custom CentOS 6 init.d/xinetd/whatever 
scripts and configs to systemd, but notice that CentOS 7 appears to use 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network as the method for starting/stopping the network

Is this correct - or am I missing something?

Thanks

You are correct, the old sysv init script still exists, although you are still
using systemd to launch it.

I'm not sure why it exists but I seem to recall there was something that
required it. (load balancer maybe?)

The NetworkManager service does use systemd units though.
