Topic: IPv6 Routing Header 0 is dangerous
- snip -
I. Background

IPv6 provides a routing header option which allows a packet sender to
indicate how the packet should be routed, overriding the routing knowledge
present in a network. This functionality is roughly equivalent to the
"source routing" option in IPv4. All nodes in an IPv6 network -- both
routers and hosts -- are required by RFC 2640 to process such headers.

s/RFC 2640/RFC 2460/
