Except for all those devices that look only at the IPv4 header. In that case, redefining the IPv4 header this way could interfere with mechanisms to manage NAT traversal based based on ID context.
Finally, how do you know when you can even use this? Legacy devices could choke on such packets - whether routers or endpoints. Joe _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
