Sam,
Thx for the help,
I would just like to be able to generate the following extenstion headers from a router (say extended ping) or a test program so I can see the use of the speficic headers and how they influence IPv6 in our lab environment.
Out of the following
Hop-by-Hop Options header
Destination Options header
Routing header
Fragment header
Authentication header and Encapsulating Security Payload header
Upper-Layer header
The only one I can seem to generate is the router header from windows XP ping6.exe
Please exuse the IPv6 address

This is purley for evaluation purposes and is not a system issue as such.
If there is an IPv6 test executable that can tell the IPv6 stack to utilise certain IPv6 options (thus using various extention headers) that would help me in my quest.
Kind regards and many thx,
Ken
