requires a check to be performed as defined by the scheduler the poll
method is invoked. The poll is passed the interface to check
By default when the status transition from up to down or vice versa the
framework will generate an event. Additionally, if the polling interval
changes due to an extended unavailability, the framework will generate an
additional down event. The plug-in can suppress the generation of the
default events by setting the suppress event bit in the returned integer.
