/**
 * \brief classifies IP packets according to Traffic Flow Templates (TFTs)
 *
 * \note this implementation works with IPv4 and IPv6.
 * When there is fragmentation of IP packets, UDP/TCP ports maybe missing.
 *
 * The following actions are performed to use the port info present in the first segment with
 * the next fragments:
 *  - Port info is stored if it is available, i.e. it is the first fragment with UDP/TCP protocol
 *    and there is enough data in the payload of the IP packet for the port numbers.
 *  - Port info is used for the next fragments.
 *  - Port info is deleted, when the last fragment is processed.
 *
 * When we cannot cache the port info, the TFT of the default bearer is used. This may happen
 * if there is reordering or losses of IP packets.
