Abstract:
The current definition of the IPv6 Flow Label focuses mainly on how
the packet source forms the value of this field and how the forwarder
in-path treats it. In network operations, there are needs to
correlate an upstream session and the corresponding downstream
session together. This document propose a flow label reflection
mechanism that network devices copy the flow label value from
received packets to the corresponding flow label field in return
packets. This mechanism could simplify the network traffic
recognition process in network operations and make the policy for
both directions of traffic of one session consistent.
