[CUWiN] Question about Originating ifIndex field

Is this field set correctly in the HSLS Packet Header? It refers to the 
interface number in the SNMP mib, but if the host is not running SNMP then 
how does one interpret this field? Does it correlate with any information 
produced by Linux's ifconfig?

In the packet traces that I have looked at, this number is always set to 
4.

Thanks for any help. Regards. -- Sanjai
