I understand that when packets are too big to reach their destination, 
because mtu is smaller than a packet they are discarded and an 
icmpv6-packet too big- packet is sent to the source.

Now, when would one ever want to use a fragmentation header?
I read that fragmentation only can be used by source nodes.  Why 
wouldn't they want to use the flowlabel instead of an extra header?
