Link layer headers in reports?

[Peram Marimuthu <peram@cisco.com>]

Section 5 of the framework document says, "Information eligible for inclusion in packet reports
includes (i)
   the packet content itself (including encapsulating headers); "

Is there a need to include link layer headers in this export? Drawback of this will
be that the collector will have to know which type of interface originated this report and
understand every possible link layer (PPP/HDLC/Ethernet/FR etc) before the data
can be interpreted.

An alternate approach would be to identify the network layer and provide raw
ipv4/ipv6/mpls packet.
