Really? The fragment ID can change with each packet, correct? Imagine a UDP stream that for some reason uses large packets. Or maybe some large packets and some small packets. Isn't the proposal going to result in different packets of the same "application stream" getting different flow ids? Isn't that going to be somewhat problematic for load balancers? -- Christian Huitema -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
