Possible actions include: > > 1) Deprecate all usage of RH0 > 2) Recommend that RH0 support be off by default in hosts and routers I see these two as being equivalent. If RH0 is going to be off by default in routers, then it's for all intents and purposes unusable and should be fully deprecated. > 3) Recommend that RH0 support be off by default in hosts This is what everyone already expects the behavior to be, and even people on this list have shown surprise when they have discovered that this is not the case. I'd completely agree with this. > 4) Limit it's usage to one RH0 per IPv6 packet and limit the number of > addresses in one RH0. The use case that I would want to use is allowing trace routes from a->b when you don't have access to either end, or for asking for a reverse trace route from a host back to yourself. These don't require multiple RH0's. If it's not done already (I've not had time to read the spec carefully), you should also check that the scope is the same (or possibly greater) to prevent people for example using RH0 to talk to hosts that only have link local addresses via a router that has a globally routable address. So, I'd prefer disabling it for end hosts, enabling it by default on routers but limiting it to only one RH0 header with the same scope. If that is not acceptable, then deprecate the entire feature. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
