Hi Ron, Your below example has nothing to do with Internet Standard violation.
You are free to define new ethertype and new IP header format any time you wish to do so. Obviously it can not be called IPv6 any more as it is not compatible with IPv6 IP header format. Main reason why SRv6 has chosen to use IPv6 is to make architecture practically deployable and to make sure SR packets can be forwarded by legacy nodes not SRv6 aware. Best, Robert.
