// Besides the entry points in the Backend interface, the backend's New()
// function receives static network interface information (like internal and
// external IP addresses, MTU, etc) which it should cache for later use if
// needed.
//
// To implement a singleton backend which manages multiple networks, the
// New() function should create the singleton backend object once, and return
// that object on on further calls to New().  The backend is guaranteed that
// the arguments passed via New() will not change across invocations.  Also,
// since multiple RegisterNetwork() and Run() calls may be in-flight at any
// given time for a singleton backend, it must protect these calls with a mutex.
