Implements packet broadcasting. Supports universal broadcast address 255.255.255.255 and subnet specific broadcast addresses, e.g., 192.168.1.255.

Is there any chance that this can be merged?

Unfortunately it's not functioning properly :/

IP packet broadcasting does not work with TUN devices which are used to simulate networks when we use high level primitives like ipv4::{machine, router}. I know this is possible and we probably have to use TAP devices which simulate the Ethernet. I simply haven't spent the time yet.
