Abstract:
This document analyzes a problem in the Uniform Format for IPv6
Extension Headers specified in RFC 6564, which results in forwarding
nodes and middle-boxes not being able to process an IPv6 Header Chain
if it contains an unrecognized IPv6 Extension Header that follows the
aforementioned Uniform Format. Additionally, it specifies a new IPv6
Extension Header - the Universal Extension Header - that overcomes
the aforementioned problem, and enables the extensibility of IPv6
without impairing middleboxes that need to process the entire IPv6
Header Chain. Finally, this document formally updates RFC 6564
