It is for an underlying link for example: a veth pair is a link for each other,
a tunnel device has a link to transmit packets.
Bridge and bonding are master devices where "slaves" (or ports for bridge)
can join.
netns doesn't have a name or id by nature, we assign it a name by binding
mount some /proc file, these LINK_NETNSID's are not absolutely unique either,
just relatively.
