It also explains why some network service providers discard packets with exceptionally long header chains. Finally, it identifies a reasonable header chain length. While a network service provider can enforce any filtering policy that supports its security model, a network service provider should not discard IPv6 packets based solely upon header chain length if the header chain is not longer than the value specified herein.}, }
