 * A pair of virtual back-to-back connected ethernet like interfaces
 * (``two interfaces with a virtual cross-over cable'').
 *
 * This is mostly intended to be used to provide connectivity between
 * different virtual network stack instances.
 */
/*
 * Things to re-think once we have more experience:
 * - ifp->if_reassign function once we can test with vimage. Depending on
 *   how if_vmove() is going to be improved.
 * - Real random etheraddrs that are checked to be uniquish; we would need
 *   to re-do them in case we move the interface between network stacks
 *   in a private if_reassign function.
 *   In case we bridge to a real interface/network or between indepedent
 *   epairs on multiple stacks/machines, we may need this.
 *   For now let the user handle that case.
