A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Format for IPv6 extension headers
Author(s) : S. Krishnan
Filename : draft-krishnan-ipv6-exthdr-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2006-10-18
In IPv6,optional internet-layer information is encoded in separate
headers that may be placed between the IPv6 header and the transport
layer header. There are a small number of such extension headers
currently defined. This document defines a format for defining new
IPv6 extension headers.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
