I did not take a layered approach like autonet, but I could conceive
one. For my current design, please see [0] and [1]. I can easily map
the three layers there:

  1. the daemon receives link-level events from the kernel
  2. the configuration broker determines the configuration to use
     for an interface if it's supposed to be configured in response
     to a user request or by policy. The return value is
     a configuration stanza much like in the autonet email posted
     here two days ago
  3. the methods then take care to turn the current state into the
     desired state, which was given by the configuration stanza

0. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/netconf/netconf/trunk/doc/design.txt?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
1. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/netconf/netconf/trunk/doc/design.png?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

So I guess the answer could be yes, except I did not imagine it in
terms of layers.
