Extends:

Name	Type	Description
INetworkLayerUpper	module interface	This module interface provides an abstraction for the upper interface of different network layers.
INetworkLayerLower	module interface	This module interface provides an abstraction for the lower interface of different network layers.

Used in compound modules:

Name	Type	Description
MultiNetworkLayer	compound module	This module supports multiple different network layers simultaneously. Packets received through the transport gates are handed over to the corresponding network layer based on the attached control info. Packets received from the interface gates are also handed over to the corresponding network layer based on their runtime type.
NodeBase	compound module	Contains the common lower layers (linklayer and networklayer) of Router, StandardHost, WirelessHost etc.
