The 4.4BSD routing doesn't go to interfaces, but rather:

- if it is a broadcast medium, to the network address (local address masked
by netmask)

- if it is a p2p interface, to the REMOTE address of the link, not to the local
one.

The local address of a p2p link is use to create the from IP address, and to
decide packets are "ours", but not for the outgoing routing.
