I have no idea what it is used for.. similar effect can be made by using
the ng_iface node, but I think that they didn't want a separate
interface for each packet source..

I suggest we ask brooks..(cc'd).
I could imagine it somehow connected with the 300 processor
FreeBSD based cluster that he is working on at hos job 
(especially as it has their copyright).
