The only reason why we keep inserting HBH seems to be for the tools that parse the packets, but the above drawbacks seem to outweigh this, and the tools can be patched (like they need to, in order to be able to parse BIG TCP IPv4 now). I have a patch for tcpdump.This came multiple times. I want to see the patches coming in the tools, before patches landing in linux. Having the promise that it can be done is not enough, sorry !
I do have a patch. I opened a pull request and pushed it there: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/pull/1329
