One page or two pages max, summarising why they were thought a good idea, the different types and their uses, how widely used they are and with references; RFC8200 may be Normative but it takes a while to appear and that after RFC2460! An intro to EHs -- and e.g., how the structure compares to the IPv4 packet structure is simply and doable. OTOH, what you suggest might now. :-) e.g.,Not sure one can tell how widely used they are. Also, getting into enumerating EHs will result in the relevant section becoming stale soon, since there seems to be quite a bit of development in this area. > Section 3 makes reference to security, fragmentation and such like with no apparent connection to EH; I think that such a connection should be explicit earlier. I'll craft some text and post to the list for review before incorporating into the I-D... [...] > <tp> > but it leaves the I-D without an ending, it just peters out. With an introduction saying what EH are used for then you could have a summary harking back to that and saying which, or which kind of, work and which do not implying, without being explicit, what future developments might or might not be a problem. The think is that, on the public Internet, all that I have checked are unreliable. -- That's a sad fact... but a fact. :-) If you control the network, well.. you control whether they are dropped. And the obvious corollary is that use cases that are targetted at limited domains will likely work, where any targetted at the public Internet will fail, at least for some time. That's as much as we can say so far -- based on data... since otherwise, guesswork is just guesswork. Thoughts?
