Hi, We have posted a draft which checks for loops in the source routed header. It works for nearly all the cases. The reason is in case a new header is added to replace the RH0, or if the RH0 is not deprecated (for reasons that it is required by the management) then we can as well use the checks in the RH0 header itself.
Such packets should however be rate limited and such checks will probably best be performed by software. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-manral-ipv6-detecting-loops-rh-01.txt Thanks, Vishwas -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
