Folks, Since there's an ongoing poll for adoption of draft-gont-6man-nd-extension-headers, I just wanted to comment on the results of some recent tests with real-world implementations. IPv6 implementations such as that in *BSDs silently ignore NS and NA messages that employ fragmentation. This means that use of fragmentation with ND is not reliable, already. If anyone is interested in testing the behaviour of other implementations, please do let me know, and I'll provide the tools to do so. Thanks!
