The result of the work from my thesis. A more digestible set of commits than in my original thesis repo, https://github.com/karlhto/RINA-thesis

WIP because I need to add INET as a dependency, which I have previously done directly through the Makefile. Trying to figure out if I can use opp_featuretool to include an external library and NED sources. Because of this, this PR cannot be compiled yet either. Please use the aforementioned repo's master branch to test the features. It assumes you have INET installed in the directory ../inet4 if using the normal Makefile, but OMNeT++ <6 uses the directory ../inet, which must be added as a "Project Reference" in the editor. I know this seems inconvenient and hard-coded, but this was actually the suggested way to do it.

I have an additional PR that I'm making soon that adds some changes to the flow allocator of a normal DIF, which is required to let more management flows be allocated if several neighbouring IPCPs are reachable. Currently RINASim does not handle this. Will probably need some debate.

...and here is that PR: #27
I apologise for the extra time it has taken, but I have been busy with work.

Also, I would like this PR to stay open until I have defended my thesis, so it can be looked at by the examiners. :)

Supports a simplified flow allocation procedure.
This module keeps the internal state for connections over the Ethernet
shim DIF.
An ARP implementation that uses variable length addresses. Will need
some additional work to achieve serialisation and stuff like that.
