Yes. However, since fragmentation is near the end of the set of possible options, that means that ANY recommendations about how IPv6 routers handle options will require deep option parsing.

I thought we were talking more about fragmentation - which defeats filtering on upper layer info anyway. The non-HBH options can be split across fragments, but not the HBH ones. > For filtering purposes, it'd been interesting to have a pointer to the > upper-layer header -- although with the original specs, it might simply > not be there.

With IPv6, at leasts in theory, it might be impossible (unless > you reassemble-filter-and-refragment). In both cases fragmentation defeats DPI. But then so does IPsec. Yes, IPv6's chained header structure is not DPI-friendly. But this isn't news, is it? >> Consider that: >> >> - routers don't like fragments because they can't inspect them >> >> - so we tunnel and fragment in a higher level protocol >> >> the router now needs to implement the higher protocol >> and still fragment or else we cannot have tunnels >> >> the routers on the path still cannot inspect the >> higher-level fragments >> >> So we're back to the reason this all breaks - routers doing something >> that we simply cannot support in the architecture. > > It's probably time to accept that firewalls and routers implementing > ACLs are part of the architecture. We need to accept one of three things: DPI is part of the architecture either don't use IPv6 options or don't use IPv6 IPv6 options are part of the architecture DPI isn't meaningful anymore > One might argue that the use of > firewalls couldn't be foreseen with IPv4. But at the time IPv6 was > designed, it was already a reality. So that means IPv6 was designed to inhibit the use of options, or designed to inhibit its own deployment. Seems like the latter is coming to fruition. Joe
