I don't think this is a good idea at all, sorry.

IPsec is a feature provided by the operating system, and it is very well
(and efficiently) handled by doing all the per-packet operations inside
the kernel itself.  Only the control (key handshake) is done in
userspace, and three are several implementations of the IKEv1/IKEv2
protocols out there.  There's no need to replicat that functionality in
OpenGGSN.

I suggest you to have a look at the wireshark infastructure in the
'Statistics' / 'Telephony' menus.  They do pretty nice for other
protocols like TCP or SIP.
