I don't want to get too caught up in the nomenclature here,
but my own initial instinct, like Jim's, was to club all 
of it under ipadm. However, as becomes evident with property
management in comparison with the other commands considered,
it *is* true that the transport layer does not usually 
target IP interfaces, just as the IP layer does not target 
transport layer ports. It was for this reason that I split
the tools into "ipadm" (or "netadm" or "l3adm"??) and 
transadm (or "xadm" or "ulpadm" or "l4adm"??).

but what do we want to see these tools doing? Any comments
about the suggested features?
