41  * A Link-Level Sockaddr may specify the interface in one of two
42  * ways: either by means of a system-provided index number (computed
43  * anew and possibly differently on every reboot), or by a human-readable
44  * string such as "il0" (for managerial convenience).
45  *
46  * Census taking actions, such as something akin to SIOCGCONF would return
47  * both the index and the human name.
48  *
49  * High volume transactions (such as giving a link-level ``from'' address
50  * in a recvfrom or recvmsg call) may be likely only to provide the indexed
51  * form, (which requires fewer copy operations and less space).
52  *
53  * The form and interpretation  of the link-level address is purely a matter
54  * of convention between the device driver and its consumers; however, it is
55  * expected that all drivers for an interface of a given if_type will agree.
