Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [IPv6] [v6ops] Why folks are blocking IPv6 extension headers? (Episode 1000 and counting) (Linux DoS)

Would like to support Fernando again, and not just because I have a Sony TV too. 

Cybersecurity is in such a bad state that I can only plea for a sense of realism and pragmatism vs dogmatism to get real solutions at hand to the defenders practitioners

If not I will ask people here to consider spending a week in a Security Operation Center when there is a Ransomware breaking up 

Fernando’s paper intentions will be appreciated by the defenders
