Folks,

The v6ops wg of the IETF has adopted our I-D entitled: "Observations on
IPv6 EH Filtering in the Real World".

The I-D is available at:
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-in-real-world>


Abstract:
This document presents real-world data regarding the extent to which
packets with IPv6 extension headers are filtered in the Internet (as
measured in August 2014), and where in the network such filtering
occurs. The aforementioned results serve as a problem statement that
is expected to trigger operational advice on the filtering of IPv6
packets carrying IPv6 Extension Headers, so that the situation
improves over time. This document also explains how the
aforementioned results were obtained, such that the corresponding
measurements can be reproduced by other members of the community.


P.S.: Any comments will be more than welcome!

Thanks!

Best regards,
Fernando
