"Network operators MAY filter IPv6 fragments."
Ack. It is a statement of fact, not an IETF imposed requirement.
I hate to be *that* guy... but, perhaps you want to bin this whole draft if you
don't want to impose that requirement.
If for whatever reason you're in the position to never actually look that far
into the header why would you care?
I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you please elaborate?
if you have a device that does not need to look beyond the 40 byte fixed
header to forward then finding the frag header is additional work.
somewhat closer to the edge of the network I need to find the L4 header.
but if you can't ( or don't want to look beyond the fixed header you
probably shouldn't have to. insuring no fragmentation header exists
implies further parsing of the header chain.
