	Network (NetworkAddress addr, double reliability, VoidFunctionPtr readAvail, VoidFunctionPtr writeDone, int callArg)
	Initialize the network emulation addr is used to generate the socket name reliability says whether we drop packets to emulate unreliable links readAvail, writeDone, callArg – analogous to console.
void	Send (PacketHeader hdr, char *data)

PacketHeader	Receive (char *data)
void	SendDone ()
	notify user that another packet can be sent
void	CheckPktAvail ()
	if a packet is already buffered, we simply delay reading the incoming packet. In real life, the incoming packet might be dropped if we can't read it in time.

void Network::Send	(	PacketHeader	hdr,
		char *	data
	)

send a packet by concatenating hdr and data, and schedule an interrupt to tell the user when the next packet can be sent

Note we always pad out a packet to MaxWireSize before putting it into the socket, because it's simpler at the receive end.
