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?
