Some of the discussion already had talks about ordering and optimum method to find X in the header chain. What happens in these situations when someone sends 'lots' of packets with 'bad ordering' of the header bits? Will the devices in the path behave 'well'? or will I get degraded forwarding performance because of bad ordering? or will the packets be dropped? or ? it's worth thinking about what can go wrong with this requirement to order EH bits in certain ways. -chris -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
