IPv6 link-local socket addresses require some way to specify a local network device. We cannot simply use a pointer to the network device, since a struct sockaddr_in6 may be long-lived and has no way to hold a reference to the network device. Using a network device index allows a socket address to cleanly refer to a network device without worrying about whether or not that device continues to exist.
