Well,

 Modify the Transport or IP layer of the stack in the host

is generic enough to include

 Insert a new level in the protocol stack (identity element)

and

 Modify the behaviour of the host/site exit interaction

that it is no good for classification.

Moreover, the classification is rather rhetorical (API)
than architectural.

That is, most, if not all, approaches of:

 Modify the Transport or IP layer of the stack in the host

can have some API to make it:

 Insert a new level in the protocol stack (identity element)

as demonstrated by my 8plus8 draft:

  4.3 8+8 Adaptation Layers for Applications over TCP and DNS

So, it is better if your presentation is titled:

	A Rhetorical View of Multi6 proposals
