00040  *
00041  * IPV6_EXTHDR_SIZE: buffer not yet fully formed, but we know the final
00042  * destination. Can perform routing decision. Call should set result to total size
00043  * of extension header that would be inserted by IPV6_EXTHDR_INSERT.
00044  *
00045  * IPV6_EXTHDR_INSERT: we are about to add IP header - provider can
00046  * prepend extension headers, and modify options.type to new outer NH.
00047  * (We do not support extension headers from more than one source per packet).
00048  * These headers can be placeholders, with filling deferred until
00049  * IPV6_EXTHDR_MODIFY. If a source routing header is inserted, buffer dst_sa
00050  * should be changed from final destination to next IP destination.
00051  * XXX no - won't work. Separate mechanism for varying IP dest?
00052  *
00053  * IPV6_EXTHDR_MODIFY: the buffer contains an existing complete IP packet,
00054  * possibly generated internally, and possibly received externally. Provider
00055  * can update fields in extension headers it knows.
00056  *
00057  * If it needs to insert headers that are not present, it can force insertion
00058  * into a tunnel, by:
00059  *    setting dst_sa and src_sa appropriate for the tunnel endpoints
00060  *      XXX does this work out okay with dest cache and PMTU?
00061  *    updating route info like next hop if necessary (probably not)
00062  *    returning IPV6_EXTHDR_MODIFY_TUNNEL
00063  * During new header formation for the tunnel, IPV6_EXTHDR_INSERT will be
00064  * called again, and obviously it must ensure headers are inserted so that
00065  * IPV6_EXTHDR_MODIFY doesn't request to tunnel a second time.
00066  *
00067  * In all cases, a negative value in result indicates error.
