Could you have more details here? Maybe have a skeleton of bpf program to at least see how this helper will be used? A lot of compression happens in the application and kernel chops them into TCP stream. Or you are talking IPcomp protocol? I am not sure how bpf program could do decompression based on a single packet. Further, do we need todecompress the whole packet or on ly part of the packet?
