I've raised the topic to our AD (Suresh), to the IAB, and on the

meaningful happen in this area.
I have also submitted an errata to make RFC8200 even more clear on the
topic, but it remains unprocessed.
So my questions are:
* On the technical area:
+ Is IPv6 an End To End protocol? Or is the IETF's stance that
routers are free to mangle with the packet structure as they please?
The IETF's stance is usually documented in RFCs. Routers are free to
mangle with packet structure.
They clearly are not. I have no idea whatsoever where you got this from.
Yes, there's no protocol police. But such behavior does not conform to
the IPv6 standard, nor with the existing architecture.
Thanks,
