Abstract

This document first proposes the concept of "Aggregate header limit for IPv6"(IPv6-AHL) to indicate the total header size that a router is able to process at full forwarding rate for IPv6 packets. Then this document describes the problems for path calculation and function enablement without the awareness of IPv6-AHL, and the considerations for IPv6-AHL collection are also included.
