On Linux, this helps because you see the familiar name in the log, e.g.
eth0.On Windows, it's not much use because
if_indextonamereturns a name like "ethernet_32778" that seems to be pretty meaningless. We have cpprest/host_utils.cpp code using theGetAdaptersAddressesAPI to getAdapterName, but notFriendlyName, already but we don't currently have any dependencies from the mdns library on the nmos-cpp library, so I didn't want to do add coupling just for this. For now, I think you can continue to use PowerShellGet-NetAdapter -InterfaceIndex Nto look up interface index N.
