Title : IPv6 Universal Extension Header Authors : Fernando Gont Will (Shucheng) Liu Suresh Krishnan Hagen Paul Pfeifer Filename : draft-gont-6man-ipv6-universal-extension-header-01.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2014-04-08 Abstract: This document analyzes a problem in the Uniform Format for IPv6 Extension Headers specified in RFC 6564, which results in nodes not being able to process an IPv6 Header Chain if it contains an unrecognized IPv6 Extension Header that follows the aforementioned Uniform Format. It analyzes the implications of the aforementioned problem, and discusses a number of possible solutions, including the specification of a new IPv6 Extension Header - the Universal Extension Header - that overcomes the aforementioned issues.
