| - | : This document specifies the basic IPv6 header and the initially- defined IPv6 extension headers and options. It also discusses packet size issues, the semantics of flow labels and traffic classes, and the effects of IPv6 on upper-layer protocols. The format and semantics of IPv6 addresses are specified separately in [ADDRARCH]. The IPv6 version of ICMP, which all IPv6 implementations are required to include, is specified in [ICMPv6]. | + | : This document specifies the basic IPv6 header and the initially- defined IPv6 extension headers and options.
