Enum InterfaceKind 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum InterfaceKind {
    Ethernet,
    Wireless,
    Loopback,
    PointToPoint,
    Bridge,
    Other(u32),
}

The kind of a network interface.

Platforms expose different classifications (Linux ARPHRD_*, Windows IfType, BSD/macOS IFT_*); this enum carries the subset that maps cleanly across all of them. It is #[non_exhaustive] so adding platform-specific kinds later is not a breaking change — see ARCHITECTURE.md’s note on model extensibility.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Ethernet

Ethernet and other IEEE 802 MAC-layer interfaces.

Wireless

Wi-Fi / 802.11 wireless.

Loopback

Loopback (lo / Loopback Pseudo-Interface).

PointToPoint

Point-to-point tunnels and virtual links without a broadcast domain.

Bridge

A bridge or other software switch aggregating member interfaces.

Other(u32)

Anything not yet classified — the raw OS-supplied type code, when available, is carried alongside for diagnostics.
