The VIF, as mentionned above, will have three attached prcesses ; VARP, VIP and
VRIP. Added to these processes we have an other processes whose role is to
manage interlayer communications ie. packet delivery from upper-layer protocols
to the data-link layer.
this process is implemented as a loop reading constantly from the VIF module
input FIFOs ( 1 fifo per upper-layer protocol ). and once a message is read , it
will be sent to the datalink layer using the VDL module primitives.
