96 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:358

	English However, the `Next header` has broader usages than simply indicating the transport protocol which is responsible for the packet payload. An IPv6 packet can contain a chain of headers and the last one indicates the transport protocol that is responsible for the packet payload. Supporting a chain of headers is a clever design from an extensibility viewpoint. As we will see, this chain of headers has several usages. 416/10000 · 416

	English :rfc:`2460` defines several types of IPv6 extension headers that could be added to an IPv6 packet : 99/10000 · 99

	English `Encapsulating Security Payload`. This option is processed only by hosts. 73/10000 · 73

	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
105 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:371

	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

	English The IPv6 `Hop-by-Hop Options` header 36/10000 · 36
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
108 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:380

	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
109 ../../protocols/ipv6.rst:381

	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
