Abstract
There are an increasing number of IPv6 hop-by-hop options but such IPv6 options are poorly handled, particularly by high-speed routers in the core Internet where packets having options may be discarded. This document proposes a simple method of transiently hiding such options for part of a packet's path to protect the packet from discard or mishandling.
