EthernetLink¶

//
// EthernetLink provides a base channel type for Ethernet connections with configurable
// length and propagation delay. It extends the Cable type and calculates the delay
// based on the physical length of the cable and the speed of light in the medium.
//
// The EthernetLink serves as a base for specific Ethernet standards with different
// data rates, from 10 Mbps to 400 Gbps.
