Hi Fred,
If we select the approach 2 in draft-carpenter-6man-flow-update-03, the
issue we talked below (either restoral or MPLS) would be solved.

[Tina: How about keeping the previous flow label in the option of IPv6

Yes, one could do that. It looks more and more like MPLS as you get there.
Why not just use MPLS if that's what you're trying to achieve?
