Name	Type	Description
IProtocolHeaderChecker	module interface	Module interface for protocol header checker components. Modules that implement this interface verify protocol-specific headers in packets and typically remove them after successful validation. These components act as packet filters that can drop invalid packets based on header information, ensuring protocol compliance and integrity. They are commonly used in protocol stacks to process incoming packets before passing them to higher layers.
