// The IP2Nic module acts as a bridge between the IP network layer and the cellular (LTE/NR) protocol stack.
// It exhibits slightly different behavior when operating in the UE compared to the BS.
// Its main functionalities include:
// - Registering itself as an interface for accessibility from upper layers (e.g., IP Layer).
// - Adding control information to IP packets (5-tuple) in the downstream direction. Additionally, in the BS
//   module, it appends the destination ID to the control information to ensure packets are sent to the correct UE.
