Mark,

> So truly "inserting" (cut, insert, glue) into an existing packet is not something that has been part of any IETF protocol as far as I'm aware.

IPsec (and some of the IPv6 transitioning work) introduced Bump-in-the-wire and Bump-in-the-stack.
Both are header insertion.

The BITW IPsec, is an IPsec transport offloaded to a security gateway. See RFC4301.

Best regards,
Ole
