i    Network  packet  headers  contain  a great deal of information,\r
i    but  the  kernel  often only needs a subset of that information\r
i    to  be  able to perform filtering or associate any given packet\r
i    with  a  flow.  The  piece  of  code that follows the different\r
i    layers  of  packet  encapsulation to find the important data is\r
i    called  a flow dissector. In current Linux kernels, the [1]flow\r
i    dissector  is  written  in  C. A [2]patch set has been proposed\r
i    recently  to  implement  it  in  BPF  with  the  clear  goal of\r
i    improving security, flexibility, and maybe even performance.\r
