4. Technical Description
RFC 5095 deprecated routing header type 0 because of security reasons. This
actually leaves no
routing header types as valid. Because we continue to process these route
headers, we are
failing the IPv6 certification tests. This project proposes to remove the
processing of
route header type 0 and treat it as we do all other unknown types.
