i think of it as a somewhat arbitrary operational (not protocol, i.e. does not belong in this wg) best common practice. just as i warn my customer that they can announce a /64 to me, and can pay me to announce it to my peers, that my peers will not listen to it or propagate it.
similarly, you might be able to send 4k of bleeding extension headers to me, but i am likely to drop the packet on the floor. and if i don't, someone down the line likely will. so i would suggest a bcp draft in grow or v6ops that says that it is unsafe to send more than X bytes in extensions. randy -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
