Hi all, Thanks to James for the pointer to draft-krishnan-ipv6-exthdr-08.
I don't know exactly what the status of draft-krishnan-ipv6-exthdr-08 is today, but it this proposal has IMHO to become quickly a standard-track RFC: - The ability of skipping an extension header in a node that doesn't know it is clearly needed. - This need should have been satisfied in the original IPv6 specification. I therefore support that this draft should become asap a 6man WG document.
