In `EthernetTransport`, prepend Currently, NFD can write to raw Ethernet sockets. However, it can't add to a [802.1Q VLAN tag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q) header to Ethernet frames. such packets. Goal of this task is to discuss and implement support for such headers. VLAN headers are 4 octets 4Bytes and should be simple to add to an a Ethernet frame, either constructed manually or with the packet. Alternatively, libpcap provides API that supports VLAN tagging API provided by libpcap. tagging. **Use case:** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q <b>Use case:</b> The scientific testbed has multiple VLANs and the ability to create on-demand VLANs. NFD should be able to write packets to these VLANs without creating layer 3 tunnels. This will also demonstrate NDN's ability to work over long distance links without needing to use IP.
