Why operators filter IPv6 packets with extension headers?

[Fernando Gont]

Folks,

The topic of operators dropping IPv6 packets containing extension
headers has been raised quite a few times on a number of mailing-lists
and forums.

A month ago or so we published a document trying to summarize the
reasons for which operators filter IPv6 packets containing extension
headers. The document is available at:
<https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-packet-drops-00.txt>

We're currently working on a revision of this document, and would like
to hear feedback from the ops community regarding our document. e.g.,

* Did we get anything wrong?
* Is there anything missing?

Or, if you like the document and agree with its content, that's also
interesting feedback to have.

P.S.: If possible, please CC <v6ops at ietf.org> and
<draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-packet-drops at tools.ietf.org> when sending
feedback.

Thanks!

Best regards,
