The EtherType is modified by the Click router, so don't worry about
that. The Hex value would be perfect!

No, the checksum is not yet computed. Roofnet is still in its infancy
and our implementation is really ... experimental.
A clarification on the 'next' field.
'Next field' is an integer which tells which of the N hops has to be
considered the next and is updated at each relaying node.
Forward is a link metric in the forward direction on a certain link (you
see that this value is present for each link contained in roofnet
header).
The same happens for rev, which is a forward metric.
NOTE THAT THEY ARE NOT IP ADDRESSES
