Abstract
A system that facilitates processing of data packets in an Internet Protocol (IP) network environment, which includes a computer device having an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) extensions application, and wherein the IPv6 extensions application performs the following steps: setting an IPv6 extension header policy for the computer device; retrieving an original IPv6 packet from a network stack on the computer device, the original IPv6 packet having an extension header or destination option; determining if a designated route in the extension header or destination option is in accordance with the IPv6 extension header policy for the computer device; and if the designated route is in accordance with the IPv6 extension header policy, modifying the extension header or destination option for the computer device to generate a modified IPv6 packet, and sending the modified IPv6 packet on the IPv6 network.
