Hi,

draft-zhang-6man-offset-option-01 proposes an idea for how to make it
easier for a node that needs to skip over an IPv6 header chain to do
so quickly, for example for flow classification or flow logging,
or (perish the thought) for payload inspection. The idea is to
avoid overhead. If you read the -00 draft, please forget about it
and read the -01 draft, which is significantly different.
