3 interfaces?

I'm curious why my Channels DVR server reports "3 interfaces" when only two are listed (IP address by Ethernet, as well as WiFi.)

What's the 3rd?

Google tells me that "awdl0" is "Apple Wireless Direct Link interface." For peer-to-peer stuff, like AirDrop.

Interesting...AirDrop?

Low-friction sharing between Apple devices:

I know what AirDrop is. It just made me think of any possibilities with it.

I'm not sure what's changed, I haven't touched my iMac server in over a month, but I noticed Channels DVR is now showing just the 2 interfaces, Ethernet and WiFi. "awdl0" is no longer listed.
