Either you can allow the user to specify a specific subnet, or you
combine the results of something like

(map-apply (lambda (a b) (network-interface-info a))
(network-interface-list))

with (network-lookup-address-info host) where host is where youʼre
trying to connect to.

I still fail to see the real need for it, but I guess Eli has a
use-case.
