Implements the shared coaxial cable for classic Ethernet.
The ethg[i] gates represent taps. Messages arriving on a tap travel on the bus on both directions, and copies of it are sent out on every other tap after delays proportional to their distances.
For the model to work correctly, all connecting links (both incoming and outgoing ones) must have the same datarate.
Messages are not interpreted by the bus model in any way, thus the bus model is not specific to Ethernet.
It is allowed to disconnect/reconnect links at runtime. However, the model does not support changing the tap positions or adding/removing taps at runtime.
