Brian,
Two questions:
First:
>> Some tricky and potentially malicious cases will be avoided by forbidding
>> very long chains of extension headers that need to be fragmented
>> [I-D.ietf-6man-oversized-header-chain].
I wonder if this is the place to define "very long"?
Second:
Are there other RFCs which have rules for what "middle boxes" will do? I am
not referring to translation techniques such as SIIT, etc. which is implemented
in some load balancers.
I guess I am wondering more about if there is a precedent for regulating what
packets firewalls will and will not forward.
BTW, thanks so much for doing this!
Thanks,
