## Summary
This pull request encompasses a series of significant refactoring and enhancements aimed at improving the network simulation framework's architecture and functionality. Central to these changes is the introduction of ARP and ICMP as standalone services, the creation of a structured hierarchy for network interfaces, and a comprehensive overhaul of the testing suite to align with these new developments.
### Key Changes:
ARP and ICMP as Services: Transitioned ARP into a dedicated service, laying the groundwork for more sophisticated network interaction simulations. This shift involved substantial refactoring but has resulted in the successful integration of ARP requests within the network service architecture. Following this, ICMP was also encapsulated as a service, utilizing the session manager for packet transmission, thereby enhancing modularity and interaction within the network.
Network Interface Hierarchy: Introduced a hierarchy for network interfaces, differentiating between wired (NIC, SwitchPort) and wireless (WirelessNIC, WirelessAccessPoint) interfaces. This structure is further enriched with the Layer3Interface abstract base class, facilitating IP-based communications across both wired and wireless mediums.
PCAPs (Packet Capture) are now logged separately for inbound and outbound frames.
Test Suite Overhaul: Undertook a significant refactor of the testing suite, shifting to utilize the newly introduced Node subclasses (Computer, Server, Router, Switch) and the Network() class for node management and connection setup. This effort ensures that tests more accurately reflect the intended usage patterns and configurations within the simulation framework.
IPV4Address Validation and Conversion: Added a new IPV4Address type with pre-validation and auto-conversion capabilities, streamlining the handling of IPv4 addresses throughout the framework.
### Commit Highlights:
1. Commenced by integrating ARP as a service, facing initial challenges but achieving a functional ARP request capability as a milestone (Initial crack at getting ARP into a Service).
1. Progressed to fully integrate ARP service and link it with ICMP operations, marking a significant advancement in service-based network interactions (Lots more progress).
1. Began the process of encapsulating ICMP within the service model, necessitating further adjustments and test fixes (Initial work has been done on moving ICMP into services).
1. Completed the ICMP service integration, enhancing PCAP logging for inbound and outbound frames, and began addressing test suite discrepancies (ICMP now working as a service).
1. Implemented a broad refactor of the base network model to introduce a clear network interface hierarchy and started troubleshooting routing tests affected by ARP integration issues (Big refactor of base).
### Conclusion:
These changes collectively represent a leap forward in the framework's architecture, laying a robust foundation for future enhancements and ...
## Summary
- added a second green agent on client 1
- added browser history
- added a reward component based on the most recent return code in browser history
- modified the UC2 notebook to adhere to new reward.
- (also there were some issues in example_config from a previous merge that I failed to notice prior)
## Test process
New unit tests. Ran uc2 notebook to check that it produces results aligning with what is described in the markdown cells.

## Summary
Make actions work with object names instead of UUIDs. This makes it possible to define action spaces which can act on network elements that don't exist yet (as long as you can anticipate what they will be called).
## Test process
Many new tests. Old tests pass. Notebooks run.
