Title : Update to the processing of the Hop-by-Hop Options extension header Author(s) : Sreenatha Setty Tina Tsou Filename : draft-tsou-6man-hbh-header-update-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 2012-03-04 The Hop-by-Hop Options header is used to convey optional information that must be examined by every node along a packet's delivery path.
