 *
 * On ESP32 the network layer is fully managed by the lwIP TCP/IP stack.
 * IP address assignment (DHCP or static), routing, and ICMP are all
 * transparent to this library.  This header exists as an architectural
 * placeholder and extension point.
 *
 * The current implementation is a no-op stub.
