	here are some examples of these.  not sure if they require header
	protection, but they are all tricky - issues with multicast issue
	(source address validation gets tricky), as well as bootstrap issue.
	most of routing protocol needs to somehow protect IPv6 source address,
	as they will use (peers') IPv6 source address as the nexthop router
	information.
	- RIPng (RFC2080, see section 4) 
	- OSPFv3 (RFC2740, see abstract and couple of other places)
	- neighbor discovery and stateless autoconfiguration
	  (RFC2461 section 3.1, RFC2462 p19)
		-> tricky chicken-and-egg problem exist, about how to setup SA
	- router renumbering (RFC2894, section 3 and 7.1)
