Documentation/purpose for com.apple.network.identification key in SystemConfiguration?

I notice that starting in 10.5 there is a "com.apple.network.identification" key in SystemConfiguration:

> show com.apple.network.identification
<dictionary> {
  ActiveIdentifiers : <array> {
    0 : IPv4.Router=10.11.0.1;IPv4.RouterHardwareAddress=00:00:5e:00:01:0b
    1 : IPv4.Router=172.23.128.1;IPv4.RouterHardwareAddress=00:10:db:ff:40:80
  }
  PrimaryIPv4Identifier : IPv4.Router=10.11.0.1;IPv4.RouterHardwareAddress=00:00:5e:00:01:0b
  ServiceIdentifiers : <array> {
    0 : 3D650ED5-A53D-4B29-AA1C-78D322EEE18F
    1 : BACA2955-E23A-49D4-8250-0B22005A54B9
  }
}
> 

I can't find any documentation on this. It appears to be information about the currently active network interfaces.

I have code that would certainly find this information useful, especially the ServiceIdentifiers array. Is this information "safe" to use in a program, or should we glean this info from other places in SystemConfiguration?

Thanks,
Jamie
