Abstract:
The IPv6 specification allows IPv6 header chains of an arbitrary
size. The specification also allows options which can in turn extend
each of the headers. In those scenarios in which the IPv6 header
chain or options are unusually long and packets are fragmented, or
scenarios in which the fragment size is very small, the first
fragment of a packet may fail to include the entire IPv6 header
chain. This document discusses the interoperability and security
problems of such traffic, and updates RFC 2460 such that the first
fragment of a packet is required to contain the entire IPv6 header
chain.
