Hi Andre,

>From ifconfig(8) manual page :
%%%
    group group-name
                    Assign the interface to a ``group''.  Any interface can
                    be in multiple groups.

                    Cloned interfaces are members of their interface family
                    group by default.  For example, a PPP interface such as
                    ppp0 is a member of the PPP interface family group, ppp.
                    The interface(s) the default route(s) point to are mem-
                    bers of the egress interface group.

This article [1] explains better what interface groups are, see the
"Interface group" section (according to w3m: line 182/422 (43%))
