I mean exactly PortInnerInterface. Imagine this set of data:

|  5 | XENPAK    |             30 |
|  6 | X2        |             30 |
|  7 | XPAK      |             30 |
|  8 | XFP       |             30 |
|  9 | SFP+      |             30 |

The current meaning of DEFAULT_PORT_OIF_IDS is to control, which outer 
interface is assumed by default for each inner interface. There is no 
restriction for default OIF to be unique.

I am not sure I get this right. What would this be used for?

P.S. I will review the patch to PHP code later this week.
