Headers encoded by 6lowpan-hc must be contiguous. In other words, once you encounter an uncompressed header, all subsequent headers are not encoded by 6lowpan-hc.

Hi, everyone.

I have a question about compressing series of IPv6 Extension Headers.

+-----+-----+-----+--------------+------------------------- +--------------------+----- | NHC | NH | len | uncompressed | Non-encoded ext. header | compressed or not? | ... +-----+-----+-----+--------------+------------------------- +--------------------+-----

In my understanding, the Next Header field should be carried in-line when the next extension header cannot be encoded due to its length (greater than 255), right?

If it is right, a non-encoded extension header is followed. Then, how can I distinguish whether the followed next header is compressed or not?

Thank you for reading. :)
