Inter-layer communications between VARP and VIF

The communication between the VIP module and the VIF module follows the VARP-VIF and VRIP-VIF communication shema. Thus, for sending packets to another host or interface, the VIP module will write the packet in the VIF input queue then the VIF polling process will read it and send it to the link using the VDL module primitives implemented for that purpose.
