Hi, draft-zhang-6man-offset-option-01 proposes an idea for how to make it easier for a node that needs to skip over an IPv6 header chain to do so quickly, for example for flow classification or flow logging, or (perish the thought) for payload inspection. The idea is to avoid overhead. If you read the -00 draft, please forget about it and read the -01 draft, which is significantly different.
