/**

 * \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
