class CProtocolPosthook : public CIp6Hook
	/**
	* Base class for the hooks between IP and NIF.
	*
	* This is the base class for hooks that live between the IP and
	* NIF layer (post-processing and pre-processing hooks). However,
	* this is also suitable for the base class of any hook. The class
	* provides automatic "network service detection", and supports both
	* <b>binding to</b> and <b>binding from</b> IP6.
	*
	* The implementations of CProtocolPosthook::BindL and
	* CProtocolPosthook::Unbind handle the "chaining" feature of the
	* post processing hooks. The stack uses a sequence of BindL and
	* Unbind calls when inserting or removing a protocol.
	*
	* Outbound (MIp6Hook::BindPostHook()):
@verbatim
 U ---> IP6          F ---> NIF
 ..Send.. \         /
           \   ....P ->
            \                      |
             H1 --> H2 --> ... --> T
             ...Send...Send...Send
@endverbatim
	* The MNetworkService::Send passes the packet (P) to the CProtocolBase::Send
	* of the first post processing hook (H1). It is the responsibility of
	* H1 to pass the packet to the next post-processing hook (H2). The stack
	* maintains an internal chain terminator (T), which will pass the packet
	* to the NIF using the flow context (F) attached to the packet. The
	* Send does the packet forwarding to the next linked hook automaticly.
	* 
	* The information block associated with the packet is defined
	* by RMBufSendPacket , which always includes a reference to the
	* flow context (F). If a hook before the terminator (T) does
	* not pass the packet forward in chain, then it must also
	* take care of releasing the flow context
	* (RMBufSendInfo::iFlow.Close()).
	*
	* The flow context is the only way for the terminator (T) to
	* know the target NIF. If the packet has not flow context, the
	* terminator drops the packet. The flow context is detached
	* from the packet before it is passed to the NIF.
	*
	* Inbound (MIp6Hook::BindPreHook()):
@verbatim
   NIF --> IP6                     IP6 ---> U
  ..Process..\                      |
              \   ......P ->        |
               \     src=NIF        |
               H1 --> H2 --> .. --> T
            ..Process..Process..Process
@endverbatim
	* The MNetworkService::Process passes the incoming packet
	* to the CProtocolBase::Process of the first pre-processing hook
	* (H1). It is the responsibility of the H1 to pass the packet
	* to the next pre-processing hook (H2). The stack maintains
	* an internal terminator (T), which will pass the packet
	* upwards in the protocol stack. The CProtocolPosthook::Process
	* does the packet forwarding to the next linked hook automaticly.
	*
	* In the Process chain, the source (CProtocolBase *) is actually
	* a pointer to the NIF object (CNifIfBase). Upon arriving to the
	* terminator (T), the source must still be a valid and known to
	* stack as a NIF (successfully introduced as documented in
	* @ref nif_binding
	* at some earlier point). Otherwise packet is not accepted.
	* The information block is defined by the RMBufPktInfo class.
	* The information block "changes into" RMBufRecvInfo after the
	* terminator (T).
	*
	* CProtocolPosthook can also be used as a generic base for any hook.
	* Then the following protocol ids for the BindL will become reserved:
	*
	* - MIp6Hook::BindPostHook()  (for outbound posthook chaining)
	* - MIp6Hook::BindPreHook() (for inbound posthook chaining)
	* - #KProtocolInet6Ip (for the network intance)
	* - #KProtocolInetIp (for network instance, deprecated)
	*
	* ::BindToL implementation handles #KProtocolInet6Ip
	* and #KProtocolInetIp targets. This does not do automatic CProtcolBase::BindL
	* to the target (see ::DoBindToL). The hook binds, if needed, should be done
	* in the ::NetworkAttachedL function.
