This allows a network interface to be marked as 'fallback', meaning it will only be started after either the default route changes to no route or the connection attempt of any non-fallback interface fails.
The startup delay for a fallback interface is being used as some kind of grace period to allow the primary interface to try and reconnect.
N.B. the primary interface is not turned 'off', so any network stats remain. A fallback interface is turned off as soon as a default route is active with a higher priority than that of the fallback interface.
