The meaning of the message and the contents of 'extension-specific The meaning of the message and the contents of 'extension-specific
fields' are determined by 'extension name', which follows the fields' are determined by 'extension name', which follows the
conventions described in section 4.6.1 of [RFC4250]. conventions described in section 4.6.1 of [RFC4250].
If an implementation receives an SSH_MSG_TRANSPORT_EXTENSION whose If an implementation receives an SSH_MSG_TRANSPORT_EXTENSION whose
'extension name' it does not recognise, it MUST treat it as if the 'extension name' it does not recognise, it MUST treat it as if the
message number were unrecognised and return SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED as message number were unrecognised and return SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED as
specified in section 11.4 of [RFC4253]. specified in section 11.4 of [RFC4253].
