+    """ Indicates type of dependency.
+
+        This class enumerates types of dependency relationships
+        between interfaces.
+
+        iface dependency relationships can be classified
+        into:
+         - link
+         - master/slave
+
+        In a 'link' dependency relationship, dependency can be shared
+        between interfaces. example: swp1.100 and
+        swp1.200 can both have 'link' swp1. swp1 is also a dependency
+        of swp1.100 and swp1.200. As you can see dependency
+        swp1 is shared between swp1.100 and swp1.200.
+         
+        In a master/slave relationship like bridge and
+        its ports: eg: bridge br0 and its ports swp1 and swp2.
+        dependency swp1 and swp2 cannot be shared with any other
+        interface with the same dependency relationship.
+        ie, swp1 and swp2 cannot be in a slave relationship
+        with another interface. Understanding the dependency type is
+        required for any semantic checks between dependencies.
