Gyan,

(Cc's trimmed)

Can you explain this assertion please:

> IPv6 flow label RFC 6437 stateless uniform 50/50 load balancing is one business driver for operators to migrate to SRv6.

I thought SRV6 was about path selection for specific services, which is very different from any form of flow-based load balancing.

Regards
   Brian
