Something that I'm working on is a design & implementation of BPF (v2) that incorporates instructions that are specifically designed to deal with headers that are chained together in this fashion. In its current form, BPF (v1) is not that IPv6 friendly. Give me a week or two to back up a design with some code that works (the parser and compiler bit are the tricky pieces.)
