Hi All, One statment in RFC 2460 Looks contradictory, to the behaviour of Routing Header processing.
One Page 05. Sections 4. The below para says : --------------------------------------------- "With one exception, extension headers are not examined or processed by any node along a packet's delivery path, until the packet reaches the node (or each of the set of nodes, in the case of multicast) identified in the Destination Address field of the IPv6 header." Followed by para as below: " The exception referred to in the preceding paragraph is the Hop-by- Hop Options header, which carries information that must be examined and processed by every node along a packet's delivery path, including the source and destination nodes. " ------------------------------------------------ Section 4.4 of the RFC specifies that Routing header, need to be processed by the intermediate nodes. Since, section 4.4 is correct, how can statement of section of 4.0 be correct ??? Please clarify. Thanks in advance for your response.
