There are certainly multiple ways to represent IP interface configuration in SCF. One is to represent each interface as a service instance of some sort, and storing its configuration in the instance's property groups. Another would be to have all IP interface configuration stored in a single service instance's properties, perhaps with each interface's configuration in its own property group. It all depends on what the requirements are. Certainly, moving the configuration to SCF doesn't require representing individual IP interfaces as service instances, but as I think you're also saying, it's one possible model. -Seb
