Name	Type	Description
EthernetAddressChecker	simple module	Filters Ethernet packets based on their destination MAC address. Extracts source and destination addresses from Ethernet frames and adds them as tags for use by higher layers. Accepts packets where the destination address is the receiving interface's MAC address, the broadcast address, or a multicast address for which the interface has group membership. Drops the rest as "not addressed to us". When in promiscuous mode, accepts all packets regardless of destination address.
