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