Description
Context
Currently our simulator support TCP and UDP testing but we have lingering unit tests for ARP and ICMP that it would be useful to fold into the simulator.
Proposed Solution
Add support for IP level packets and add test cases.

Research direction
Locate the network simulator and the existing lingering ARP and ICMP unit tests mentioned in the issue. Read how TCP and UDP testing is currently supported, then define the IP-level packet coverage needed for ARP and ICMP. Done means the simulator supports those packets and corresponding test cases pass.
