A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6436 Title: Rationale for Update to the IPv6 Flow Label Specification Author: S. Amante, B. Carpenter, S. Jiang Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: November 2011 Mailbox: shane at level3.net, brian.e.carpenter at gmail.com, shengjiang at huawei.com Pages: 13 Characters: 28062 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-flow-update-07.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6436.txt Various published proposals for use of the IPv6 flow label are incompatible with its original specification in RFC 3697. Furthermore, very little practical use is made of the flow label, partly due to some uncertainties about the correct interpretation of the specification. This document discusses and motivates changes to the specification in order to clarify it and to introduce some additional flexibility.
