Auto Interface

The ``AutoInterface`` enables communication with other discoverable Reticulum
nodes over any kind of local Ethernet or WiFi-based medium. Even though it uses IPv6 for peer
discovery, and UDP for packet transport, it **does not** need any functional IP
infrastructure like routers or DHCP servers, on your physical network.
As long as there is at least some sort of switching medium present between peers (a
wired switch, a hub, a WiFi access point or similar), it will work without
any configuration, setup or intermediary devices.
wired switch, a hub, a WiFi access point or similar, or simply two devices connected
directly by Ethernet cable), it will work without any configuration, setup or intermediary devices.
For ``AutoInterface`` peer discovery to work, it's also required that link-local
IPv6 support is available on your system, which it should be by default in all
