I think P2P could be better.

OTOH, I knew that PTP was point-to-point.

It can be any of that, depending on context.  For me PTP is more like
Picture Transport Protocol, whereas "2" between two letters is usually
"to".

Well, my 2 cents, picture transport protocol is so obviously different 
than flags for network interfaces it does not cause a mental collision. 

PTP is also Precision Time Protocol, which *is* used on network
interfaces (maybe not USB-connected interfaces though).

How about FLAG_NON_IEEE, meaning that the physical layer is not based on
an IEEE 802.3, 802.11 or other standard physical layer.

I think that doesn't really express the meaning, since FLAG_WWAN is
presumably also not IEEE, right?

Thanks for the bike shedding everyone, I'll just use my own color then
and call it FLAG_POINTTOPOINT.
