Subject: IPv6 extension headers with SLAAC

Folks,

Since there's an ongoing poll for adoption of
draft-gont-6man-nd-extension-headers, I just wanted to comment on the
results of some recent tests with real-world implementations.

IPv6 implementations such as that in *BSDs silently ignore NS and NA
messages that employ fragmentation. This means that use of fragmentation
with ND is not reliable, already.

If anyone is interested in testing the behaviour of other
implementations, please do let me know, and I'll provide the tools to do so.

Thanks!

Best regards,
