CS 456 A3 - Router

This assignment consists of 1 python application abstracted through a shell script: router (no file extension, as per the assignment spec). This is an interface for the python script router.py. There is also a packets.py file which has my packet unpacking function, and classes for the packet types. There is also the emulator file in the folder as well.
