Detailed Description

An emulated interface is an implementation of the Interface API which does not send or receive packets using real interface hardware but exchanges packets with other emulated interfaces in the same collision/broadcast domain.

Emulated interfaces send and receive packets using a UDP Network socket on a collision domain specific multicast group.

Todo:

Should we add a source interface field to the PacketHeader so that self-loop suppression (and later things like drop calculations) do not depend on a correct EthernetPacket header?
