Context

On Azure, local MAC address to IP mappings have no meaning because all VMs run in VLANs. Thus, we can fill the destination MAC address in outgoing ethernet packets with anything that we want. However, occasionally, it needs to be a specific address for the packets to flow. For example, Windows expects 12-34-56-78-9a-bc

Proposed Solution

We should make this constant configurable:
DUMMY_MAC_ADDRESS
