I am really starting to lose my patience here!!!
Even IF existing implementations don't put any value in the flow
label, the LISP spec can specify that this MUST be done for LISP and
then there will be flow labels in all LISP packets.
Obviously it will take some time for the router implementations to
start hashing on the flow label, but then again, it will also take
some time for the traffic from a single ITR to a single ETR (or the
other way around, whatever) to need more than 1 Gbps so the load
balancing issue becomes more than academic.
Come on, people! If we can't even get stuff right in fairly green
fields, how can we expect to get ANYTHING right EVER??
