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