Correct, but the name can also change (I forget the magic command on Linux, but it exists). In socket calls such as connect() you need the interface index, and the conversion from interface id to interface index is a bit system-dependent but typically involves getaddrinfo(). The only safe assumption is that they're both dynamic, but which you need depends on the exact use case. I suggest that we should be able to support both formats. Since CBOR is typed, that's easy enough.
