/**
 * Tuple (queue type, receiver address type, Address, TID) identifying a container queue.
 *
 * @note that Address has a different meaning depending on container queue type:
 *
 * - for container queue types holding unicast frames, Address is the Receiver Address (RA)
 *   of the frames stored in the queue. For 11be MLDs, it is expected that:
 *   + the RA of unicast management frames are link addresses (indicating the link on which
 *     they must be sent)
 *   + the RA of unicast QoS data frames are MLD addresses (indicating that they can be sent
 *     on any link)
 *   + if the RA of a unicast control frame is a link address, that control frame can only be
 *     sent on the corresponding link; if the RA is an MLD address, that control frame can be
 *     sent on any link
 *
 * - for container queue types holding broadcast frames, Address is the Transmitter Address (TA)
 *   of the frames stored in the queue. For 11be MLDs, it is expected that:
 *   + the TA of broadcast management frames are link addresses (indicating the link on which
 *     they must be sent)
 *   + the TA of broadcast QoS data frames are MLD addresses (indicating that they can be sent
 *     on any link)
 *   + if the TA of a broadcast control frame is a link address, that control frame can only be
 *     sent on the corresponding link; if the TA is an MLD address, that control frame can be
 *     sent on any link
 *
 * The TID is only specified for container queue types holding QoS data frames.
