It's a matter of whether you want the name to reflect the implementation vs. the function. For someone involved in the details of the implementation, being (acutely!) aware of those details can be very important. For someone who merely wants to have a certain physical port on the machine connected to a particular network, that level of detail is not always appropriate. It depends on your focus.
