But my bigger issue with this review is the repeated insinuation that
this draft would somehow ossify IPv6 or impede evolution of IPv6 or
transports. I believe this characterization is wholly unfounded,
unfair, and incorrect.
I concur: this is a speculative position at best. The reason that the
eh-limits draft is not going to impede the deployment of ipv6 or the
development of new protocols is because it specifies that compliant
equipment should support a reasonable quantity of EHs. Right now, the EH
situation is a mess and even using a single EH can dramatically impact
the ability of a packet to transit through networks.
I think Gorry's concern is approximately 180 degrees off. The use of
extension headers is currently effectively ossified for inter-domain
use, and this draft is pretty much the last hope of de-ossifying them.
I'm not optimistic but we should at least try.
