For example, on linux, you can create a sub-interface to a network

Aha! Sub interfaces are Linux's way of dealing with what's called IP
aliasing, which means assigning multiple IP addresses to the same
interface.
In BSD's, you don't create sub interfaces, you just assign aliases.
This, among other things, is discussed in a new HOWTO on the darwin
HOWTO page (<shamelessplug>

Check that out; it should answer your questions. If it doesn't, let me
know, and I'll update it (and, one hopes, answer your question as well).
Regards,
Justin
