I'm in favor of it. It's a good use case of flow label for L3/4 load balancing
RFC 6437 did not go nearly far enough in my opinion make the flow label
suitable for this application.
The fact of the matter is if I attempted to use the flow label today as
part of a load balancing scheme it would provide zero additional
entropy, and what's more I still have to look at the upper layer header.
Furthermore the document proposes the use of flow label across muliple
flows as a common "session key" across multiple flows which I personally
feel is inconsistent with the notion of a flow, is certainly embedding
upper layer (notionally above the l4 header) session information in the
layer-3 header and suffers from the exposures described in section 6 of
6437 and making no attempt to ameliorate them.

Subject: [Int-area] Call for adoption of
draft-carpenter-flow-label-balancing-02
Hi all,
This draft has been presented at intarea face to face meetings and has
received a bit of discussion. It has been difficult to gauge whether the
wg is interested in this work or not. This call is being initiated to
determine whether there is WG consensus towards adoption of
draft-carpenter-flow-label-balancing-02 as an intarea WG draft. Please
state whether or not you're in favor of the adoption by replying to this
email. If you are not in favor, please also state your objections in
your response. This adoption call will complete on 2013-01-04.
Regards
Suresh & Julien
