Description

At the moment, the tests run separately from the OS implementation. It would be nice to find a way to test the OS implementation as well.

Research direction
The issue requests adding E2E tests for the OS implementation. Currently, tests run separately. First, explore the existing test structure in the repository to understand how unit tests are organized. Then, research how the OS implementation interacts with the system (e.g., /proc/net or similar on Linux). Propose a method to test this, such as using virtual network interfaces or mocking system calls. Finally, create a plan for implementing the tests and discuss it with maintainers.
