Re: [v6ops] I-D Action: draft-ietf-v6ops-hbh-00.txt

Hi all, 

The new version of this draft has been uploaded. Many thanks for all the comments and suggestions we received! 

The main changes we have made are the followings,

1.	The title is changed to avoid the misleading towards a solution draft. 
2.	The purpose of this draft is further clarified in both the abstract and the introduction sections. 
3.	The scope of this draft is also clarified in section 2. 
4.	Necessary reference is added.
5.	Directly quote the specifications in the existing RFCs wherever are suitable. 
6.	Requirements in Section 7 are updated according to the received comments but still need more work which will be conducted in the later versions. 
7.	Section 8 is significantly changed instead of being completely deleted since we believe the migration is also very important to consider. 
8.	New sections on other network scenarios are still not yet added. We will work on them in the later versions. 

More work are still needed, and we will continue to working on this draft and keep improving it. Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed. 

Thank you! 

Best regards, 
Shuping

> Abstract:
>    This document describes the processing of the Hop-by-Hop Options
>    Header (HBH) in today's routers in the aspects of standards
>    specification, common implementations, and default operations.  This
>    document outlines the reasons why the Hop-by-Hop Options Header is
>    rarely utilized in current networks.  In addition, this document
>    describes how the HBH could be used as a powerful mechanism allowing
>    deployment and operations of new services requiring a more optimized
>    way to leverage network resources of an infrastructure.  The Hop-by-
>    Hop Options Header is taken into consideration by several network
>    operators as a valuable container for carrying the information
>    facilitating the introduction of new services.  The purpose of this
>    draft is to document the reasons why the HBH is rarely used within
>    networks and to define a proper list of requirements aiming to allow
>    a better leverage of the HBH capability.
