Jérôme, I can't do better than what we wrote in RFC7045: 2.2. Hop-by-Hop Options The IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options header SHOULD be processed by intermediate forwarding nodes as described in [RFC2460]. However, it is to be expected that high-performance routers will either ignore it or assign packets containing it to a slow processing path. Designers planning to use a hop-by-hop option need to be aware of this likely behaviour. As a reminder, in RFC 2460, it is stated that the Hop-by-Hop Options header, if present, must be first. If the HbH option type is 'may change en-route', you can rewrite its contents, but you can't change its length. And as you have understood, most people believe that RFC 2460 says you must not insert one.
