 * purpose of this NetDevice is to be used for devices such as
 * microwave ovens, waveform generators and spectrum
 * analyzers. Since the ns-3 channel API is strongly based on the presence of
 * NetDevice class instances, it is convenient to provide a NetDevice that can
 * be used with such non-communicating devices.
