The opaque mode really includes the capability to receive or
generate IP packets, UDP packets, plus receive other lower-layer
packets/frames via a packet filter interface.
The protocol mode (e.g. placing a real-world capable TCP or other
endpoint in the simulator) is not yet implemented, with a small
exception: there is an ICMP ECHO reply agent which makes it
possible to "ping" the simulator from the real world.
