netif labelling

I am trying to restrict an application I have installed to have access 
to a specific network interface only (tun0).

Are all network interfaces labelled 'automatically' by SELinux with 
'netif_xx_t' or do I have to label them manually from the policy file? 
If I have to do that manually is it done with the network_interface(...) 
macro?

Also, if I relabel the interface would I have to amend all other 
policies for applications which need access to that interface 
(applications which use the 'generic' naming - netif_t) or is this not 
necessary?

I've seen there is a macro in corenetwork.if.in called 
'corenet_all_recvfrom_labelled' - is that macro allowing me to receive 
packets from labelled interface?

Thanks in advance!
