Ah, I did misunderstood. Thanks.
Sure, most people don't care about layer 2.

All the layer 3 stuff in nmap is a bit messy, due to the windows
rawip hack. I think the biggest problem of my raw-ip code for nse
was the limitation that it was only able to send data to targets.
You couldn't send stuff to arbitrary ip address - as the routing
was based on Target instances (and metadata like layer2 addresses there).
