Here's the relevant link from the upstream vendor's release notes:

Naming convention for network interfaces
Traditionally, network interfaces in Linux are named eth[X]. However,
in many cases, these names do not correspond to actual labels on the
chassis. Modern server platforms with multiple network adapters can
encounter non-deterministic and counterintuitive naming of these
network interfaces.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 introduces biosdevname, an optional
convention for naming network interfaces. biosdevname assigns names to
network interfaces based on their physical location. Note, however
that biosdevname is disabled by default, except for a limited set of
Dell systems.
Refer to the Red Hat Knowledge Base for further information on using
biosdevname.
