Subject: IPv6 test fail

Dear list,

We are testing IPv6 again against the test specification of ipv6forum.

https://www.ipv6ready.org/?page=documents&tag=ipv6-core-protocols

The test house state that some certain packages doesn't arrive to the
device under test. We fail test cases

V6LC.1.2.2: No Next Header After Extension Header
V6LC.1.2.3: Unreacognized Next Header in Extension Header - End Node
V6LC.1.2.4: Extension Header Processing Order
V6LC.1.2.5: Option Processing Order
V6LC.1.2.8: Option Processing Destination Options Header

The question is that is it possible that the this is the intended way
of operation? I.e. the kernel swallows those malformed packages? We
use tcpdump to log the traffic.

Thank you for your help.

Levente
