transport mechanisms of getting GSMTAP from e.g. the kernel into

Nor does it prevent libpcap (once I generalize the remote-capture mechanism) from
supporting gsmtap://{host}[:port] (port optional) URLs that cause it to set up a UDP
({PF_INET or PF_INET6}, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) socket on which to receive UDP packets
from the specified host (at the specified port or, if no port is specified, the default
GSMTAP socket) and supplying packets that begin with a GSMTAP header, with a new linktype
of LINKTYPE_GSMTAP/DLT_GSMTAP.
