I couldn't make it past serialization/deserialization logic in my own hobbiest TCP/IP stack. Even that part was super buggy. Next time around I'm definitely going to be unit testing more parts otherwise it's too hard for a beginner to get the easy parts right let alone the harder parts.

Also, take a look at gvisor's network stack. It's definitely unit tested.

Also, some networking tests use separate frameworks (which look more like the setup the original post is describing, since those are needed also), e.g.: https://github.com/google/gvisor/tree/master/test/packetimpa...
