Hi all,
There has been some discussions whether or not we should add support for the
Flow Label in
Soon to be RFC 6434 <draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis-11.txt> As a straw man
proposal, if we add
Support, I would suggest the following text:
All nodes SHOULD support RFC 6437, IPv6 Flow Label Specification,
defines the IPv6 Flow Label. Specifically:
"Forwarding nodes such as routers and load distributors MUST NOT
depend only on Flow Label values being uniformly distributed. "
"It is therefore RECOMMENDED that source hosts support the flow
label by setting the flow label field for all packets of a given flow to
the
same value chosen from an approximation to a discrete uniform
distribution. "
I'd like to ask the wg the following:
1) Is the above text acceptable?
2) Do you support adding the text? If no, please suggest text, unless you do
not support adding
Flow label support at all (please say so).
John
