//! Zero-copy L2/L3 packet handling toolkit.
//!
//! `pktkit` provides primitives for building virtual network topologies:
//! devices, hubs, adapters, NAT, and tunnels that move Ethernet frames and IP
//! packets without copying buffers on the hot path.
//!
//! See the crate-level [README](https://github.com/KarpelesLab/pktkit-rs) for
//! a tour of what each Cargo feature adds. The default build ships only the
//! core types — everything else is opt-in.
//!
//! # Core
//!
//! - [`Frame`] is an Ethernet frame; [`Packet`] is an IP packet. Both are
//!   `#[repr(transparent)]` newtypes over `[u8]` so `&Frame` is the same shape
//!   as `&[u8]` and accessors are free.
//! - [`L2Device`] and [`L3Device`] are object-safe traits for anything that
//!   sends/receives frames or packets. Forwarding is a synchronous callback;
//!   the buffer is only valid for the duration of the call.
//! - [`L2Hub`] is a MAC-learning switch with 5-minute aging. [`L3Hub`] is a
//!   prefix-routing hub with a default route fallback.
//! - [`PipeL2`] and [`PipeL3`] are in-memory devices for tests and for wiring
//!   subpackages together.
//! - [`connect_l2`] and [`connect_l3`] wire two devices point-to-point.
//! - [`serve`] runs an accept loop, joining each incoming L2 device into a
//!   connector.

// A low-level networking crate carries inherently rich callback/handler types
// and a few wide protocol constructors; and several modules mirror the Go
// upstream's `pkg/pkg.rs` layout. These clippy lints fight that on purpose, so
// we opt out crate-wide rather than scatter per-item allows.
