Hello,

I just wonder if  any *official* summarization of currently existing IPv6 extension headers exists.
The only way I found to determine all headers is to step through the IANA protocol numbers list and check in the references whether the according protocol has a defined IPv6 extension header.
As far as I see it a complete current list would be:
Hop-by-Hop Option                       0
Routing Header                               43
Fragment Header                           44
AH                                                         51
ESP                                                        50
Destination Options                       60
Mobility Header                              135
Host Identity Protocol                   139
Shim6 Protocol                                140

Is there something I missed or misinterpreted? Or is there actually an official list (a citable source would fit my needs best)?
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Stefan
