well, yes, but 6man does everything in its power to prevent it from being useful for that. You said that after 15-20 years of history with IPv6 things were pretty well set in stone. Well, I can show you 15 years use of the source and destination addresses, the next header field, the traffic class aka DSCP/ECN, hop count, and so on. Can you show me 15 years actual use of the flow label? If not, the rules for taking a protocol to draft standard would suggest the use be deprecated, no? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
