Title : IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options Extension Header
Authors : Fred Baker
Ron Bonica
Filename : draft-ietf-6man-hbh-header-handling-03.txt
Pages : 10

Abstract:
This document clarifies requirements for IPv6 routers with respect to
the Hop-by-Hop (HBH) Options Extension Header. These requirements
are applicable to all IPv6 routers, regardless of whether they
maintain a strict separation between forwarding and control plane
hardware. In this respect, this document updates RFC 2460 and RFC
7045.
This document also describes forwarding plane procedures for
processing the HBH Options Extension Header. These procedures are
applicable to implementations that maintain a strict separation
between forwarding and control plane implementations.
The procedures described herein satisfy the above mentioned
requirements by processing HBH Options on the forwarding plane to the
greatest degree possible. If a packet containing HBH Options must be
dispatched to the control plane, it is rate limited before
dispatching. In order to comply with the requirements of this
specification, implementations may execute the procedures described
herein or any other procedures that result in compliant behavior.
