For example, it is hard to believe that a router forwarding too many packets of any kind will cause an issue for the security *of that router*. But on the other hand there is a widely distributed practice of network equipment attempting to provide differential treatment of packets based on protocol types and port numbers. That practice is not acknowledged in the RFC that specify IPv6. In fact, the IPv6 design assumes that routers only look at the address and flow-id fields. This design is actually a departure from IPv4, whose header format makes it easy to skip over the option field and assess the "five tuple". > > The draft *implicitly* assumes that routers will try to find the protocol and port numbers "because of security reasons", but never actually delineates these reasons. I think the discussion would be much more productive if the draft started by explaining why network managers believe that access to the "five tuple" is essential for a variety of reasons, many of which are only tangentially related to "security". At that point we can have a discussion between protocol designers assuming that the network routers shall only look at IPv6 addresses and that everything else is end-to-end on one side, and on the other side network managers explaining why they need access to the payload type and port numbers. > > My personal preferences on the subject are not very relevant, and I could actually line up arguments for both sides of that debate.
