gopacket cooperation

[vtolstov]

i'm watching on https://github.com/google/gopacket for sometime, and now found this project. do you plan cooperate work for packet creating/parsing with single lib ?

There are no plans at the moment to use gopacket. It would probably require significant amount of rework to use gopacket.

Further, gopacket seems to rely on cgo which isn't allowed in gVisor (the main user or netstack).

It looks like gopacket is more for offline processing and would support a larger number of user level protocols (e.g. I see ntp, tls). I think it would be hard to generally reconcile this with netstack, which will likely continue to need specialized parsing code. I'll close this for now, as there are no concrete plans to use gopacket.
