Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
ExtInterface	compound module	A base for external network interfaces, network interface modules that connect the simulation to the network stack of the host OS.
ExtLowerEthernetInterface	compound module	Provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The lower part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real Ethernet socket of the host computer which is running the simulation.
ExtUpperEthernetInterface	compound module	Provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The upper part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real TAP device of the host computer which is running the simulation.
ExtUpperIeee80211Interface	compound module	Provides an IEEE 802.11 network interface suitable for emulation. The upper part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real TAP device of the host computer which is running the simulation.
