+There are 4 state variables that are meaningful in a hierarchical context. The state vairables are:
+ * isActive - Is the modules loaded and read for configuration
+ * isUp - Has the interface been brought up
+ * isConnected - Has the interface been successfully connected (for interfaces that require an explict connect call)
+ * isStarted - Has the expirment started (and the stored configs pushed onto the interface).
+
+Each type of medium must track their own instances of these variables and they are only relevant in certain contexts:
+ * Wired:
+  * isUp
+  * isActive
+  * isStarted
+ * Wifi:
+  * isUp
+  * isActive
+  * isStarted
+  * isConnected
+ * Wimax:
+  * isActive
+  * ?
