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