refocusing: what about the flow label?

2001-09-06 Thread Christian Huitema
I hope that after three weeks of exchanges, everybody is convinced that we will not get any consensus on whether the best handling of QoS is diffserv, intserv, or maybe no QoS at all. Let's try to be practical. We have a simple problem to solve, the definition of the flow label in the IPv6 specifi

Michael, to be precise it is not interior routers, but ISP border routers, that would reclassify. But it doesn't change the principle of what you say. Indeed, it is clear that users who wish to be protected against anthing beyond source/destination traffic analysis cannot use the proposed flow-l
