Just curious what other implementations are doing with RAW IPv6 packets.
When you send the packet back up to the application are you including the
IPv6 header and all the extension headers? Theoretically, an application
that is performing ICMP ECHO/ECHOREPLIES doesn't need anything in the IPv6
header or extension header but obviously an application that is performing
Neighbor Discovery would. If you are returning the IPv6 header and
extension headers, then I imagine all the IPv6 RAW applications need to add
code to handle all the extension headers since the IPv6 header doesn't have
a field that gives the length of all the headers like IPv4. Right?
