I thought that we already discussed this and concluded it wasn't appropriate?

6.3.  Supported Link models for a logical interface

   The sub-interfaces of a logical interface can be bound to a point-to-
   point or a shared link (Example: LTE and WLAN).  The logical
   interface appears as a shared-link to the applications, and adapts to
   the link model of the sub-interface for packet communication.  For
   example, when transmitting a packet on a sub-interface which is
   attached to a p2p link, the transmission conforms to the p2p link
   model and when transmitting on a sub-interface attached to a shared
   link, the transmission conforms to the shared link model.

   Based on the link to which the sub-interface is attached to, the
   layer-2 resolutions may or may not be needed.  If the interface is
   bound to a P2P link with PPP running, there will not be any link-
   layer resolutions in the form of ARP/ND messages.  However, if the
   interface is bound to a shared link such as Ethernet, there will be
   ND resolutions.  The logical interface implementation has to maintain
   the required link model and the associated state for each sub-
   interface.
