Research direction

Start by reading issue #544 and tracing how injected packets are sent to the miniport, looped back to protocols, and captured by Npcap. Clarify whether the intended result is detection, suppression, or both; done means injected packets can be identified or prevented from being captured without affecting other traffic.
