It also explains why some network > service providers discard packets with exceptionally long header > chains. Finally, it identifies a reasonable header chain length. > While a network service provider can enforce any filtering policy > that supports its security model, a network service provider should > not discard IPv6 packets based solely upon header chain length if the > header chain is not longer than the value specified herein. > -- Consider orang-utans. In all the worlds graced by their presence, it is suspected that they can talk but choose not to do so in case humans put them to work, possibly in the television industry. In fact they can talk. It's just that they talk in Orang-utan. Humans are only capable of listening in Bewilderment. -- Terry Practhett -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
