// modifications to the Data field do not affect other copies.

	// Data holds the payload of the packet. For inbound packets, it also
	// holds the headers, which are consumed as the packet moves up the

	// The bytes backing Data are immutable, but Data itself may be trimmed
	// or otherwise modified.

	// Header holds the headers of outbound packets generated by the netstack. As
	// a packet is passed down the stack, each layer adds to Header.
	//
	// Note, if a packet is being forwarded at the IP layer, the headers for the
	// IP layer and above (transport) will be held in Data as the packet was not
	// passed down the stack it arrived at before being forwarded.

	// typically overlap with the Data and Header fields.

	// The bytes backing these views are immutable. Each field may be nil
	// if either it has not been set yet or no such header exists (e.g.
	// packets sent via loopback may not have a link header).
	//
	// These fields may be Views into other slices (either Data or Header).
	// SR dosen't support this, so deep copies are necessary in some cases.
