sends traffic from the Remote unit to the local unit or from the Local unit to
the Remote unit. This gives a downstream and an upstream path.

If the Broadcast button is enabled then an ARP is generated for the
remote IP. If there is a resopnse to the ARP then traffic is generated to the
remote IP with the responding MAC address. If there is no response to the
ARP then the traffic generated to the remote IP is with a broadcast MAC
address (i.e the traffic would generate throughout the network)
