    this example is similar to sockex2 in a way that it accumulates per-flow
    statistics, but it does packet parsing differently.
    sockex2 inlines full packet parser routine into single bpf program.
    This sockex3 example have 4 independent programs that parse vlan, mpls, ip, ipv6
    and one main program that starts the process.
    bpf_tail_call() mechanism allows each program to be small and be called
    on demand potentially multiple times, so that many vlan, mpls, ip in ip,
    gre encapsulations can be parsed. These and other protocol parsers can
    be added or removed at runtime. TLVs can be parsed in similar manner.
    Note, tail_call_cnt dynamic check limits the number of tail calls to 32.
