Even excepting bugs. In this particular area this is certainly the case. Network
interface inspection in heavily platform specific. One persistent annoyance is
that fact the the Java interface for this conflates the UP and RUNNING flags.
So Java CA and PVA clients will not discover interfaces which are UP, but not
RUNNING. aka. configured, but unplugged.
