Alternative Interfaces
Alternative interfaces are interfaces that provide similar networking
functionality, but use different routes and/or media. For example, if
netif1 is marked as alternate to netif0 it means that:
- If a service is trying open connection through netif0 and netif1 is
already open, netif1 will be used instead.
- If netif1 is requested for use, netif0 will not be used as its alternate.
Using alternative interfaces is optional, and should not be mixed with
primary/secondary interfaces associated with TCP/IP-based services,
which are used to provide backup mechanisms for services.
