Well, we need something which identifies the "DSA collection". In
that, you could have two or more collections, connected to different
network devices.
I once came across a PCI board with two Intel ethernet chipsets and
two 10 port Marvell switches. Each switch had one host cpu port, 3
ports interconnected to the other switch, and 6 going to the back
panel. You would want to describe that as two separate DSA entities,
not one DSA with two switches. So the name needs something to indicate
the DSA collection.
