9.2 Processing Mobility Headers

   Mobility Header processing MUST observe the following rules:

     (snip)

   o  The Header Len field in the Mobility Header MUST NOT be less than
      the length specified for this particular type of message in
      Section 6.1.  Otherwise, the node MUST discard the message and
      SHOULD send ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 0, directly to the Source
      Address of the packet as specified in RFC 2463 [14].  (The Binding
      Cache information is again not used.) The Pointer field in the
      ICMP message SHOULD point at the Header Len field.

6.1.7 Binding Update Message

   If no options are present in this message, 4 octets of padding is
   necessary and the Header Len field will be set to 1.
