/// An enum that defines the possible destinations for a mesh packet.
/// This enum is used to specify the destination of a packet when sending
/// a packet to the radio.
///
/// # Variants
///
/// * `Local` - A packet that should be handled by the connected node.
/// * `Broadcast` - A packet that should be broadcast to all nodes in the mesh.
/// * `Node(u32)` - A packet that should be sent to a specific node in the mesh,
///   specified by the passed `u32` id.
///
/// # Default
///
/// The default value for this enum is `Broadcast`.

/// The primary usage of this trait is to enable the management of packets within the
/// `send_packet` method. This method needs to be able to echo packets back to the client,
/// and is only able to do this if the `send_packet` method has the ability to trigger
/// the handling of arbitrary mesh packets.
