Hello everybody, I'm quite new to netfilter, so be kind with me... :-) In the case of my Master Thesis I have to develop shim6-support in netfilter. I found that there is no real support in the netfilter connection tracker to handle IPv6 extension headers. (e.g.: when I receive a shim6-payload extension header, I would like to check if the context-tag is a valid one for the locators used. - shim6-control messages will be handled like a layer-4 protocol as in icmp6) I thought, that I could do that job in nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr(...) to check if the context-tag is valid. But it's not the job of that function to check the "validness" of an extension header. So, are there any plans to implement some kind of extension-header-handler in the connection tracker? Or does there exists somewhere a patch who does that job? I hope, that I was clear in my explanations.
