	// Data holds the payload of the packet. For inbound packets, it also
	// holds the headers, which are consumed as the packet moves up the
	// stack. Headers are guaranteed not to be split across views.

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

	// Header holds the headers of outbound packets. As a packet is passed
	// down the stack, each layer adds to Header. Note that forwarded
	// packets don't populate Headers on their way out -- their headers and
	// payload are never parsed out and remain in Data.
	//
	// TODO(gvisor.dev/issue/170): Forwarded packets don't currently
	// populate Header, but should. This will be doable once early parsing
	// (https://github.com/google/gvisor/pull/1995) is supported.

	// 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.
