Remarks

Interface indices appear in the order specified in the Adapters and Bindings dialog box in the Advanced Settings property sheet. This ordering is used as a tie breaker controlling the sequence in which interfaces are used on multi-homed systems for for situations including route selection, DNS name resolution, and other network related operations.
