Hi Vishwas,
The idea is that all new IPv6 extension headers will use the same
Next Header value (allocated in this draft). Anything else will be a
payload/upper layer protocol.
i.e. An unknown extension header will have a known "Next Header" value
but an unknown "Specific Type" inside the GIEH and an unknown upper
layer protocol will have an unknown "Next Header" value.
Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
This brings the interesting issue, how do I know if the unknown inner
header is payload vs Extension header?
Thanks,

3. Backward Compatibility
The scheme proposed in this document is not backward compatible with
all the currently defined IPv6 extension headers. It only applies to
newly defined extension headers. Specifically, the following
extension headers predate this document and do not follow the format
proposed in this document.
o IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options Header
o IPv6 Routing Header
o IPv6 Fragment Header
o IPv6 Destination Options Header
And AH and ESP?
AH & ESP are not considered as IPv6 extension headers and they are
considered as payload as far as IPv6 is concerned.
Thanks
Suresh
