The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Transmission and Processing of IPv6 Extension Headers' (draft-ietf-6man-ext-transmit-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ext-transmit/ Technical Summary: This document updates RFC 2460 to clarify how intermediate nodes should deal with such extension headers and with any that are defined in future. It also specifies how extension headers should be registered by IANA, with a corresponding minor update to RFC 2780. Working Group Summary: Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? No. Document Quality: There was a good discussion in the working group and well as a detailed review by Fernando Gont. The current draft resolves issues raised in the w.g. last call and detailed review. Personnel: Bob Hinden is the Document Shepherd. Brian Haberman is the Responsible Area Director.
