draft on v6 firewalling (fwd)

This could be of interest. Comments directly to me or possibly on the v6ops mailing-list, I think. There may be some issues wrt. RFC2460 that may warrant discussion here too, though. -- Pekka Savola Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those

Let me see if I can remember the reasons I had for removing the array. 1. It would make the structure declaration similar to the rest of extension headers. 2. 2292 and early 2292bis defined the array of size 1, but it is valid to have a routing header with 0 segleft and no IPv6 addresses.

Hello Rajesh some of the headers are defined directly from RFCs. in this case RFC 2292 is one of the RFC's used. If you refer to this document, you will see that linux uses some examples of these headers verbatim. Also, implementation specific queries should be directed to support services for
