/**
 * \brief The IPv4 representation of a network interface
 *
 * This class roughly corresponds to the struct in_device
 * of Linux; the main purpose is to provide address-family
 * specific information (addresses) about an interface.
 *
 * This class defines two APIs:
 *  - the public API which is expected to be used by both 
 *    the IPv4 layer and the user during forwarding and 
 *    configuration.
 *  - the private API which is expected to be implemented
 *    by subclasses of this base class. One such subclass 
 *    will be a Loopback interface which loops every
 *    packet sent back to the ipv4 layer. Another such 
 *    subclass typically contains the Ipv4 <-> MAC address
 *    translation logic which will use most of the time the
 *    ARP/RARP protocols.
 *
 * By default, Ipv4 interface are created in the "down" state
 * with ip address 192.168.0.1 and a matching mask. Before
 * becoming useable, the user must invoke SetUp on them
 * once the final Ipv4 address and mask has been set.
 *
 * Subclasses must implement the two methods:
 *   - Ipv4Interface::SendTo
