Hello Michael:



Sorry I failed to respond to this.

This is illustrated below:



[cid:image002.png@01D19FBE.5837F580]



The root sends a type 4 with the fill address of A (say that they do not share a same prefix)

When A receives the packet it must remove the first address in the SRH which is self.

As illustrated A pops B's compressed address from the next header (the type 3) and coalesces that in the first (type 4) to get the full address of B.



> Why not just drop the current 6loRH here and have fewer bytes, period?

If we had removed the type 4 then the first SRH would have been the type 3 and the prefix would be lost.



Makes sense?
