Thanks for your reply.

Yes, as your said, if I want support meter offload, the best way maybe is the 
proxy port, but
the commit seems doesn't make a further progress for a long time.

I am also rookie in the public community, in this situation, if I want to 
upstream this func,
I just wait or what can I do anything?
