I searched for other WinAPIs of interest; 
[GetIfStackTable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/netioapi/nf-netioapi-getifstacktable)
 caught my attention.
As far as I could see, the network interfaces are arranged in a stack with many 
filter interfaces stacked on top of a single non-filter interface. All 
interfaces in a stack return the same values from `isUp`, `isPointToPoint`, 
`isLoopback` and `getHardwareAddress`. The filter interfaces do not have any IP 
addresses, and are not usable with multicast sockets.
I'm not sure how we could put that information to use. Ideas welcome.
