	English The last two headers are used to add security above IPv6 and implement IPSec. They are described in :rfc:`2402` and :rfc:`2406` and are outside the scope of this document. 171/10000 · 171

	English The `Hop-by-Hop Options` header was designed to make IPv6 easily extensible. In theory, this option could be used to define new fields that were not foreseen when IPv6 was designed. It is intended to be processed by both routers and hosts. Deploying an extension to a network protocol can be difficult in practice since some nodes already support the extensions while others still use the old version and do not understand the extension. To deal with this issue, the IPv6 designers opted for a Type-Length-Value encoding of these IPv6 options. The `Hop-by-Hop Options` header is encoded as shown below. 603/10000 · 603

107 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:378

	English In this optional header, the `Next Header` field is used to support the chain of headers. It indicates the type of the next header in the chain. IPv6 headers have different lengths. The `Hdr Ext Len` field indicates the total length of the option header in bytes. The `Opt. Type` field indicates the type of option. These types are encoded such that their high order bits specify how the header needs to be handled by nodes that do not recognize it. The following values are defined for the two high order bits : 512/10000 · 512

	English ``00`` : if a node does not recognize this header, it can be safely skipped and the processing continues with the subsequent header 132/10000 · 132

	English ``01`` : if a node does not recognize this header, the packet must be discarded 79/10000 · 79
110 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:382

	English ``10`` (resp. ``11``) : if a node does not recognize this header, it must return a control packet (ICMP, see later) back to the source (resp. except if the destination was a multicast address) 192/10000 · 192
111 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:384

	English This encoding allows the designers of protocol extensions to specify whether the option must be supported by all nodes on a path or not. Still, deploying such an extension can be difficult in practice. 201/10000 · 201
112 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:388

	English Two `hop-by-hop` options have been defined. :rfc:`2675` specifies the jumbogram that enables IPv6 to support packets containing a payload larger than 65535 bytes. These jumbo packets have their `payload length` set to `0` and the jumbogram option contains the packet length as a 32 bits field. Such packets can only be sent from a source to a destination if all the routers on the path support this option. However, as of this writing it does not seem that the jumbogram option has been implemented. The router alert option defined in :rfc:`2711` is the second example of a `hop-by-hop` option. The packets that contain this option should be processed in a special way by intermediate routers. This option is used for IP packets that carry Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) messages, but this is outside the scope of this book. 830/10000 · 830
113 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:391

	English The `Destinations Option` header uses the same format as the `Hop-by-Hop Options` header. It has some usages, e.g. to support mobile nodes :rfc:`6275`, but these are outside the scope of this document. 201/10000 · 201
114 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:395

	English The `Fragment Options` header is more important. An important problem in the network layer is the ability to handle heterogeneous datalink layers. Most datalink layer technologies can only transmit and receive frames that are shorter than a given maximum frame size. Unfortunately, all datalink layer technologies use different maximum frames sizes. 349/10000 · 349
115 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:399

	English Each datalink layer has its own characteristics and as indicated earlier, each datalink layer is characterized by a maximum frame size. From IP's point of view, a datalink layer interface is characterized by its `Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)`. The MTU of an interface is the largest packet (including header) that it can send. The table below provides some common MTU sizes. 377/10000 · 377
