... and if they have several interfaces, they typically have just one
interface of "type" MANET. This is why it make sense to present a
description of what's going on on MANETs reduced to a MANET-centric view,
where nodes typically have one (MANET) interface. However, again, there is
no issue with nodes having several interfaces (ex. HNA in RFC3626 etc.).
