Issue Description

Table 4-2 (Defined Protocol-specific Attributes) incorrectly identifies IPv6 Extension Header as transport layer protocol, for example, Transport Layer Protocol 0 - IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option. They (i.e., Hop-by-Hop options (0), Destination options (60), Routing (43), Fragment (44), AH (51), and ESP (50)) are not transport layer protocol. Also, the testing Assurance Activities do not address the extension header.

Resolution

The IPv6 extension header numbers do not need to be tested.   The FW EP will be updated to remove them from the list of IPv6 protocols in Table 4-2.
