I agree that I don’t believe that there is anything in these drafts that precludes the use of extension headers or segment routing – IP is simply the layer underneath that these protocols are building on. The figures are definitely just examples – they also show outer Ethernet headers, which is not a requirement. I wouldn’t want to add text specifically stating that extension headers are permissible. It seems like that could lead to similar questions in the future where one might wonder if other features of IP are allowed because one is explicitly listed and others are not, etc. In my opinion, the drafts are about as clear as they can be on this point.

Well the drafts are complaint to RFC2119 (normative reference) so unless the text excludes elements with MUST/MUST NOT - everything else defined in the building blocks they (re)use is permitted. However as you say perhaps for clarity what could be added to those drafts is a normative reference to IPv4 and IPv6 base RFCs. Best, R.

However, in this case the figures may be a bit confusing WRT the possible existence of extension headers. This confusion is what led to the discussion in this thread about whether segment routing is possible with VXLAN/VXLAN-GPE/Geneve encapsulations. In order to avoid ambiguity, it would be great if the authors could explicitly mention that IPv6 extension headers are permitted. Regards, Tal.

I saw the figures, but figures are non normative in any draft/rfc unless text below specifically spells it out. For example from vxlan-gpe: "When the outer IP header is IPv4, VTEPs MUST set the DF bit." Besides it is pretty challenging to add animation to the current draft formats to illustrate all possibly allowed field values/combinations in any figure :) Figures just illustrate one use example. To me the current specs permit any value of IPv6 NxtHdr field as permitted in both encapsulations. Best, Robert.
