  I think this needs some spec analysis of what the expected behaviour is when packets with unknown/un […]
  I've looked into it some more: 3GPP TS 29.060 § 6 towards the end explains when comprehension is required or not, it depends on bits 7 and 8 of the Extension Header Type. If comprehension is required, but the recipient doesn't understand it, it is supposed to:
  - send a response with cause "unknown mandatory extension header"
  - send a Supported Extension Headers Notification
  - log an error
```
So I guess the right thing to do would be:
* accept packets with the E-bit set
* iterate over all extension headers
  * look at the comprehension bits, and if no comprehension is required then ignore the extension header
  * otherwise reject the packet with the steps listed above
```
  @laforge@gnumonks.org: do you want me to implement this, or put it in a new ticket? I'm not sure how important this is.
