Great Yuanhan.

If you have time and willing to put effort, I suggest make this part of dpdk code base
as new library (tcp or so) and leverage + improve another existing library such ip_frag.

I believe, that is only way.
- This code soon won't soon outdated based on new DPDK version
- More community review and contributors
- More review and features from NIC vendors PoV.
- More arch and driver support.
- More quality

Just my 2c.
