Title : IPv6 Flow Label Reflection Requirement
Author : Aijun Wang
Filename : draft-wang-v6ops-flow-label-refelction-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2014-07-03
Abstract:
IPv6 Flow Label field in IPv6 packet header is designed to
differentiate the various traffic flow session within network.
Current related RFCs(RFC 6437 and RFC 6438 etc.)describe the IPv6
Flow Label generation recommendation and usage in network traffic
load balance. But all of these documents focus mainly how the packet
source forms the value of this field and how the forwarder in-path
treats it. None of the existing documents describes the relation
between the flow label from source nodes and its corresponding value
in return packet. This draft describes the requirements for flow
label reflection between the upstream session and the corresponding
downstream session, the benefit of this mirroring mechanism and its
influence to the current proposed IPv6 flow label usage. This
mechanism is unique to IPv6, and should be exploited to promote the
deployment of IPv6 technology in more rapid pace.
