Optional internet-layer information is encoded in separate headers that may be placed
between the IPv6 header and the upper-layer header in a packet. There are a small number of
such extension headers, each identified by a distinct Next Header value. IPv6 supports the
values defined for the IPv4 Protocol field in RFC 1700, and includes these commonly used
headers:
0 : Hop-by-Hop Options (RFC 2460)
6 : TCP Upper-layer Header (RFC 1700)
17 : UDP Upper-layer Header (RFC 1700)
43 : Routing (RFC 2460)
44 : Fragment (RFC 2460)
50 : Encapsulating Security Payload (RFC 2406)
51 : Authentication (RFC 2402)
60 : Destination Options (RFC 2460)
