Abstract

This proposal provides a technique to restructure a Flow Label into 4-bits of per‑flow flags and 16-bits of entropy within controlled domains. In various implementations, the flags may be used for performance information, Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), or the like. This proposal may allow providing a premium service on top of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
