Name	Type	Description
EtherAppClient	simple module	A simple traffic generator for the Ethernet model and the 802.11 model, and generally for any L2 model that accepts Ieee802SapReq tags on the packets. It generates packets containing EtherAppReq chunks. It should be connected directly to EtherEncap/Ieee8022Llc.
