Why operators filter IPv6 packets with extension headers?
Folks, The topic of operators dropping IPv6 packets containing extension headers has been raised quite a few times on a number of mailing-lists and forums. A month ago or so we published a document trying to summarize the reasons for which operators filter IPv6 packets containing extension headers. The document is available at: <https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-packet-drops-00.txt> We're currently working on a revision of this document, and would like to hear feedback from the ops community regarding our document. e.g., * Did we get anything wrong? * Is there anything missing? Or, if you like the document and agree with its content, that's also interesting feedback to have. P.S.: If possible, please CC <v6ops@ietf.org> and <draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-packet-drops@tools.ietf.org> when sending feedback. Thanks!
