Title : Implementation Guidelines for parsing IPv6 Extension Headers
Author : Panos Kampanakis
Filename : draft-kampanakis-6man-ipv6-eh-parsing-00.txt
Pages : 8

Abstract:
IPv6 is widely used on the internet today and is expected to be
deployed more as more devices (i.e. home automation) get inter-
connected. The IPv6 header format allows for the use of Extension
Headers (EH). EHs could be chained together with very few existing
guidelines by the IPv6 protocol on how devices should parse them,
which open room for security concerns and inconsistencies. This
document presents guidelines for parsing IPv6 EHs with a goal of
providing a common and consistent parsing methodology for IPv6
implementers among the industry.
