Abstract :
This paper introduces a new feature of IPv6 called an extension header. An extension header is located between the IPV6 header and the TCP header and offers new possibilities for IP over ATM signalling and high capacity allocation in backbone networks. In IPV6 it is possible to insert an arbitrary number of extension headers between the Internet header and the payload
