Hi was reviewing

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brockners-inband-oam-transport-00

I note that 2460bis work going on

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc2460bis

would probably take issue with header insertion

as proposed as one mechanism here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brockners-inband-oam-transport-00#page-4

   The in-band OAM options translate into options for an IPv6 extension
   header.  The extension header would be inserted by either a host
   source of the packet, or by a transit/domain-edge node.
