Extension headers and firewalls

[Erik Kline]

I know that (at least some models of) Brand J router ACLs can't filter when
there are extension headers so the packets are usually just dropped.
 Extension headers, and by extension, fragmentation, really kinda just
don't work in the IPv6 world right now.  :-(
