A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Proposal for a New Flow Label Definition
Author(s) : S. Chakravorty, et al.
Filename : draft-chakravorty-bcc-flowlabel-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2005-4-18
The IPv6 header includes a 20-bit Flow Label field. RFC 3697, "IPv6
Flow Label Specification" [1] specified this field and minimum
requirements for using the field. This document first identifies
several issues related to the current Flow Label specification; then
it discusses the limitations of the current specification and the
need for extending the definition to accommodate emerging
applications and protocols; finally, a new Flow Label specification
is proposed that enables more effective usage of this field.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
