4. DESCRIPTION ▲

Mark device as dormant (as per RFC2863).

The dormant state indicates that the relevant interface is not actually in a condition to pass packets (i.e., it is not AqupAq) but is in a « pending » state, waiting for some external event. For « on- demand » interfaces, this new state identifies the situation where the interface is waiting for events to place it in the up state.
