Subject: [Bloat] ipv6 timestamp header?
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:07:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA93jw6_iLUzcLVExyqsixh3jTU+W9wOfxchOjvuOvexOga9uQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I am curious if code for linux ever appeared that could generate an
ipv6 header specific for a timestamp? I realize full well that most
stacks would just drop additional undefined ipv6 headers - and that
inserting it into the path is a pita - but at least fiddling with the
idea for certain kinds of traffic (host to host on a single link) is
appealing at the moment.

Many proposals for such have appeared in the past, here's one:

And another:

With this... and a well established grammar for parsing packets...
perhaps I can also get a pony?
