Detailed Description

Represents one network interface attached to the host.

Each network interface has a unique index, a name, and a set of flags indicating its capabilities and current state. It may contain one hardware (Ethernet) address, and zero or more network-layer (IP) addresses. Specific signals are emitted when the interface data change.
