Can you explain to me what the matter with DiffServ is?
I assumed that DiffServ makes use of the ToS field and
not of the flow label?

Betreff: Re: Usage of IPv6 flow label
In your previous mail you wrote:
flow label field is not part of AH calculation, but as RSVP already
requires it to be end-to-end (not hop-by-hop) i think we shouldn't
rewrite it in transit.
=> I don't read your argument as you. I'll say it should not be rewritten
in transit if RSVP is in use. A DiffServ edge router can rewrite it
in some situation (it is supposed to know what is RSVP and do the right
thing). Don't forget that in the real world RSVP is not end-to-end and
is managed by smart edge routers, this comes more from practice (the end
user doesn't know how to use RSVP, the edge router manager knows) than
from deep design...
