This document analyzes the security implications of IPv6 Extension
Headers and associated IPv6 options. Additionally, it discusses the
operational and interoperability implications of discarding packets
based on the IPv6 Extension Headers and IPv6 options they contain.
Finally, it provides advice on the filtering of such IPv6 packets at
transit routers for traffic not directed to them, for those cases
where such filtering is deemed as necessary.
This document is a product of the Operational Security Capabilities for IP
