"""
The kernel-datapath anchor naming contract, in one place.
Every node type whose adapters own a host-side interface names that anchor
deterministically: ``g{node_id[:8]}e{adapter}p{port}`` — ``gv`` for a
Docker veth host end, ``gq`` for a QEMU TAP, ``gi`` for an IOU port TAP,
``gd`` for a Dynamips port TAP, ``gx`` for an IOL runner container's port
TAP (a Docker node whose guest leg is unix sockets, so its anchor is a TAP
like IOU's, not a veth). The prefixes keep anchors out of the ``gns3``
bridge/TAP name space and name-collision-free on a host; the 8 hex chars of
the node id plus adapter/port keep every name unique and within IFNAMSIZ
(15).
The compute classes create their anchors with these helpers (single source
of truth), and so does the controller when a switch link has to name the
peer's anchor — the name is a pure function of (node type, node id,
adapter, port), valid whether or not the node is currently running, which
is what makes links to stopped nodes wireable.
