On what type of link do you capture?

Is it in a LTE context? If yes, have you seen the Answer to this Question?

Which kernel or OS you suspect to be adding headers while "a packet is passing through the network"? ROHC is used on a point-to-point link (physical or virtual) and the recipient has to decompress the header to be able to route the packet, but if it does not need to change the header contents, it may theoretically forward the compressed packet without modification if the forward link is also configured as a ROHC one.
