Description

This is perhaps related to https://github.com/OpenCyphal/pycyphal/issues/224

When the network interface becomes unavailable (e.g., CAN adapter disconnected, IP address changed, Cyphal/serial TCP connection closed), all services dependent on the active transport instance should be notified such that the state change can be adequately processed.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue 224, then trace how the active transport instance and its dependent services are created and notified. Identify the existing handling for CAN adapter, IP address, and Cyphal/serial TCP connection loss. Done means dependent services receive and process a notification when the active network interface becomes unavailable.
