Abstract:

   This document describes the processing of the Hop-by-Hop Options
   Header (HBH) in current routers in the aspects of standards
   specification, common implementations, and default operations.  This
   document outlines reasons why the Hop-by-Hop Options Header is rarely
   utilized in current networks.  In addition, this document describes
   how HBH Options Header could be used as a powerful mechanism allowing
   deployment and operations of new services requiring a more optimized
   way to leverage network resources of an infrastructure.  The purpose
   of this draft is to document reasons why HBH Options Header is rarely
   used within networks.  It motivates the benefits and requirements
   needed to enable wider use of HBH Options.
