Detailed Description

An ethernet network device, this relates directly to a physical network card in the machine. A device may have zero or more attached protocols, each protocol intercepts an ethernet id number. Where a protocol requires another protocol to be of use, e.g. ARP with IPv4, the dependency will be added automatically by other protocols that require it.
