Re: Doubt regarding the Static chain termination for Profile 0x004

Hi Ganesh

I think you got to things wrong.  First thing is that every change  is 
made only in the Version field. This means only in the first 4 bits of 
the first byte. There the first  bit is the MSB (Most significance bit).
Thus results in the following replacement:

1. For IPv4:

*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  IHL
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0x4         |     0x5         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     0100       |  0101           |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*

becomes
*
*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  IHL
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0xC         |     0x5         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     1100       |  0101           |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
2. For IPv6:

*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  Flowlabel
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0x6        |     0xXX        |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     0110       |    xxxx         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
*
becomes
*
*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  Flowlabel
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0xE         |     0xXX       |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     1110       |     xxxx       |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
Best regards
