This is not really defined yet. There are some expired drafts with incomplete ideas, and there is a current draft in the IPv6 WG that aims to clarify the basic definition of the flow label. Although I'm an author of that draft, I still have some problems with it myself. However, it's at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-flow-label-01.txt There is also an individual submission http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-banerjee-flowlabel-ipv6-qos-03.txt but this has no official status. At the moment the flow label is of no use for diffserv. If we do clarify the formal definition, it could possibly be used as a field in an MF classifier.
