Name	Type	Description
ExtUpperIpv4NetworkLayer	compound module	Provides a network layer that connects the simulation to a real network on the host computer using a TUN device. Allows simulated applications to send and receive packets through the host's networking stack at the IP layer. Contains standard components like routing table and ARP, and uses ~ExtUpperIpv4 with a TUN device for external connectivity.
