Alas, Brian, this strikes me as a rather bad idea -- introducing ambiguity and almost inviting gaming the system so that the same packet looks different to a DPI device and the actual destination. IMHO, any node interested in such details of the payload should be prepared to run at wire speed -- with a dedicated pipeline element if anyone were so foolish as to perform this in the "backbone". -- John Leslie <j...@jlc.net> -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
