Comment # 7 on bug 10673 from 
Hi João,
Sorry for the late reply.

I'm opening this to get more information, not saying there's actually a bug.

A few questions:

1. Why is it ok to assume there can't be more than one Routing Header? In RFC
3542 I've seen a sentence saying "When multiple Routing headers are
received...".

2. In RFC 6554, it says "IPv6 Destination Address field". This seems quite
specific to the IPv6 header destination address, and not the calculated IPv6
final destination value.

I'm not saying your analysis is wrong, I'm just trying to understand why do we
need to take the "final destination of whatever weird combination of routing
headers precedes it" in this case, according to the RFCs.
I want to be convinced of that before I change the behavior of Pcap.Net to
match that.

Thanks,
Boaz.
