I assume that you have a way to get packets from IP layer, i.e. you have
a driver which removes all headers and replaces them with a compressed
RTP header.
You could define a new packet type in if_ether.h and using
dev_add_pack(), define a cRTP_rcv() function for this packet type.
In the rcv() function you could replace the compressed header with the
normal headers again.

Yes. it will work.

change the skb->protocol and eth_proto fields to the new packet type
you have defined.
HTH.
