Explainable Rule Mining of IPv6 Extension-Header Presence Patterns from Paired-Vantage Captures

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.08090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: IPv6 extension headers (EHs), such as fragmentation, segment routing, and in-situ telemetry, are operationally important yetwidely dropped in transit, and characterising their behaviour from packet captures is a recurring measurement problem. We ask whetheran explainable miner can recover human-readable rules of EH behaviour, and we contribute two reusable tools: a negative-control protocol that diagnoses whether a mined "temporal" network rule r
