Dear all,

In IETF102 we presented the idea of MPLS extension header and received a lot of discussion. We have updated the draft to reflect the feedbacks we received.
It seems most people agree that we need extension headers (EH) to support multiple emerging in-network services, but there could be debate on how to indicate the existence of the EHs.
In the document we provide our investigations and suggestions but we do want to see your opinion. Hopefully we can achieve a consensus before IETF103.
Thank you in advance for your help!
