Hi,

I re-read this draft and I do not understand why there is no generic
equivalent to the ifStackTable.  There is no way to describe that
1 interface is layering above or below another interface.
There is an example in Appendix B for ethernet bonding.

I understand that different interface types may want to augment
the interface entry with specific fields.  This is not an adequate
replacement for a data structure that describes the general interface layering.
