Hi,

I'm glad to see this statement in draft-previdi-6man-segment-routing-header-08:

>    While the source routing model defined in [RFC2460] doesn't mandate
>    which node is allowed to insert (or modify) the SRH, it is assumed in
>    this document that the SRH is inserted in the packet by its source.

Now my reading of RFC 2460 has always been that extension headers are
only created by the source node, but I do agree that the present text is
not explicit on that point.

I would like this to be clarified one way or the other in RFC 2460bis.

   Brian
