Graph dispatch records comprise a version stamp, an indication of how
many NULL-terminated strings will follow the record header, and a
protocol hint.

The buffer index allows downstream consumers of these data to easily
filter/track single packets as they traverse the forwarding
graph. FWIW, the 32-bit buffer index is stored in big endian format.

As of this writing, major version = 1, minor version = 0. Nstrings
will be either 4 or 5.

Here is the current set of protocol hints:

typedef enum
  {
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_NONE = 0,
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_ETHERNET,
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP4,
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6,
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_TCP,
    VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_UDP,
    VLIB_NODE_N_PROTO_HINTS,
  } vlib_node_proto_hint_t;

Example: VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6 means that the first octet of packet
data SHOULD be 0x60, and should begin an ipv6 packet header.
