Abstract:
   This document describes the processing of the Hop-by-Hop Options
   Header in today's routers in the aspects of standards specification,
   common implementations, and default operations.  This document
   outlines the reasons why the Hop-by-Hop Options Header is rarely
   utilized in current networks.  In addition, this document describes
   how the HBH could be used as a powerful mechanism allowing deployment
   and operations of new services requiring a more optimized way to
   leverage network resources of an infrastructure.  The Hop-by-Hop
   Options Header is taken into consideration by several network
   operators, as a valuable container for carrying the information
   facilitating the introduction of new services.  The desired, and
   proposed, processing behavior of the HBH and the migration strategies
   towards it are also suggested.
