Agreed. I also think use of the flowlabel will prove operationally simpler. Some devices drop IPv6 packets that have any kind of headers, even fragment headers, since they lack the ability to look beyond these headers at line rate. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
