In any case, I don't recall discussion about using it for alternate path selection to the same destination, but assuming the source tried RH0 using the address set from dns, it would be a lot simpler than the shim6 sillyness with exactly the same security downsides. The thing that it doesn't do is take the alternate addressing out of the source host and put it under control of the network boundary policy. > > If Steve Deering wanted all hosts, whether set to forward packets or > not, to process extension headers, my only conclusion is that he was > thinking of multiple IP addresses in that host. Except for hop-by-hop, the extension headers are explicitly about taking the end-to-end options out of the base IPv6 header. Essentially every extension header is there for processing by the receiving host. The fact that there are artifacts of the routing extension that might be useful to the receiving host was not a design goal. > > Just trying to figure out what the corner cases are. What you are witnessing is the eternal struggle for -control- between the end system oriented implementers and the network operations oriented implementers. There are use cases on both sides that can & will be abused. People tend to disparage the use cases that don't fit their particular take on the 'who is in control' issue, and rather than defining best practice configurations they would rather take the easy out of abolishing things that give the other side some degree of control.
