I should make clear that I'm not persuaded that use of the routing extension header gives me a way to do what I've been talking about in both V6OPS and BEHAVE. Moreover, I *really* don't think RH type code **ZERO** is a better hammer than simple IPv6 NAT. (Oh boy... I've just whacked another beehive, haven't I?) For my immediate purposes, where I only need to redirect inside the routing node between the packet filter and the node's own stack, I can probably define my own internal routing extension header type code. In fact, since the packets aren't going anywhere on the wire, I could just dispense with the extension header altogether and just overwrite the destination address in the IPv6 header while inserting an appropriate state record into the packet filter for the proxy to find. This will be functionally equivalent to using IPv6 NAT, and I'll be doing this in the code that implements the IPv4 NAT and SPI filter, but if it makes everyone feel more warm and fuzzy that no actual NAT is going on, I'll use another word for it. I wouldn't want anybody to lose more sleep. Where the situation gets a lot more interesting is when the transparent application proxy is not resident on the same node as the filter where the diversion happens. That's where the routing extension header could be necessary. In that case, I still don't think type code *ZERO* is the wrong choice, because something must *remove* the extension header on the return path for the proxy to remain transparent. -- j h woodyatt <jhw@apple.com> -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
