Framing in the IP-HTTPS Protocol relies exclusively on the length of the IPv6 header.

Outgoing IPv6 packets MUST be sent within the HTTP request entity body, and incoming IPv6 packets MUST be received as HTTP response entity body. The HTTP entity body is received as a byte stream; therefore, the IP-HTTPS client MUST delimit the IPv6 packet boundaries using the Payload Length field in the IPv6 header. The IP-HTTPS client MUST discard non IPv6 packets.
