The Interface class of the router is an abstraction for NIC client sessions, NIC server sessions, and Uplink sessions. Nonetheless, Interface generally used to use the packet stream types of the Nic namespace and it worked because the Uplink packet stream types are factually the same (the are typedef'd from the same base type templates with the same parameters). The initial intention of this issue was to remove dependency on the diverse packet stream stream types from Interface. However, this turned out to be more tricky than thought. The Interface class calls function templates on the packet stream types, making a generic virtual interface impossible. And moving the calling code to the session classes as well would produce a lot of redundancy. Therefore, this commit removes only the use of the Nic namespace in the interface.* files by typedef'ing the packet stream types from the generic Genode type templates with the same parameters as in Nic and Uplink. Fixes #4385

Genode source-code repositories
===============================
This directory contains the source-code repositories of the Genode OS
Framework. Each sub directory has the same principle layout as described in the
build-system manual:
:Build-system manual:
[https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/build_system]
The build system uses a configurable selection of those reposities to obtain
the source codes for the build process. The repositories are not independent
but build upon of each other:
:'base':
This directory contains the source-code repository of the fundamental
frameworks and interfaces of Genode. Furthermore, it contains the generic
parts of core.
:'base-<platform>':
These directories contain platform-specific source-code repositories
complementing the 'base' repository. The following platforms are supported:
:'hw':
The hw platform hosts Genode on a custom microkernel specifically
developed for Genode. The name "hw" denotes that Genode is executed on
bare hardware without a 3rd-party kernel underneath.
:'linux':
Linux kernel (both x86_32 and x86_64)
:'nova':
NOVA hypervisor ([https://hypervisor.org])
:'foc':
Fiasco.OC is a modernized version of the Fiasco microkernel with a
completely revised kernel interface fostering capability-based
security. It is not compatible with L4/Fiasco.
:'okl4':
OKL4 kernel (x86_32 and ARM) developed at Open-Kernel-Labs.
:'pistachio':
L4ka::Pistachio kernel developed at University of Karlsruhe.
:'fiasco':
L4/Fiasco kernel developed at University of Technology Dresden.
:'sel4':
seL4 microkernel ([https://sel4.systems/])
:'os':
This directory contains the non-base OS components such as the init
component, device drivers, and basic system services.
:'demo':
This directory contains the source-code repository of various services and
applications that we use for demonstration purposes. For example, a graphical
application launcher called Launchpad and the Scout tutorial browser.
:'hello_tutorial':
Tutorial for creating a simple client-server scenario with Genode. This
repository includes documentation and the complete source code.
:'libports':
This source-code repository contains ports of popular open-source libraries
to Genode, most importantly the C library. The repository contains no
upstream source code but means to download the code and adapt it to Genode.
For instructions about how to use this mechanism, please consult the README
file at the top level of the repository. Among the 3rd-party libraries
are Qt5, freetype, ncurses, and Mesa.
:'dde_linux':
This source-code repository contains the device driver environment for
executing Linux subsystems as Genode components.
:'dde_ipxe':
This source-code repository contains the device-driver environment for
executing network drivers of the iPXE project.
:'dde_bsd':
This source-code repository contains the device-driver environment for
drivers of the OpenBSD operating system.
:'dde_rump':
This source-code repository contains the port of rump kernels, which are
used to execute subsystems of the NetBSD kernel as user level processes.
The repository contains a server that uses a rump kernel to provide
various NetBSD file systems to Genode.
:'pc':
This source-code repository hosts device drivers that are specific for PC
platforms. It depends on the 'dde_linux' repository.
:'ports':
This source-code repository hosts ports of 3rd-party applications to
Genode. The repository does not contain upstream source code but provides
a mechanism for downloading the official source distributions and adapt
them to the Genode environment. The used mechanism is roughly the same
as used for the 'libports' repository. Please consult 'libports/README'
for further information.
:'gems':
This source-code repository contains Genode applications that use
both native Genode interfaces as well as features of other high-level
repositories, in particular shared libraries provided by 'libports'.
