EthernetEncapsulation¶

//
// Performs Ethernet II or Ethernet with LLC/SNAP encapsulation/decapsulation.
//
// Expected environment:
// - `lowerLayerIn`, `lowerLayerOut` gates should be connected to an ~EthernetCsmaMacPhy
// - `upperLayerIn`, `upperLayerOut` gates should be connected to a higher layer
//   protocol or application
//
// Functionality:
// - packets coming from upper layers will be encapsulated in an `EthernetII` frame
//   (~EthernetMacHeader) or Ethernet SNAP frame (~Ieee8022LlcSnapHeader)
//   depending on the `useSNAP` module parameter,
//   and sent to the MAC. The ~EtherType is taken from the ~PacketProtocolTag tag
//   attached to the packet. The source address will be filled in by ~EthernetCsmaMacPhy.
// - also accepts SENDPAUSE command (message kind=IEEE802CTRL_SENDPAUSE) from
//   the higher layer: it will send a PAUSE frame, as described in
//   <a href="ether-pause.html">PAUSE frames</a>.
// - Ethernet frames arriving from MAC will be decapsulated and sent up to the
//   higher layers. Accepts ~EthernetMacHeader, ~Ieee8022LlcHeader, and
//   ~Ieee8022LlcSnapHeader too.
