Abstract:
This document explains why IPv6 header chain length affects the cost
of ASIC-based packet forwarding. 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.
