okay, so what you are saying is that load balancing uses of the FL are only upset when they see zero. So for instance, if layer-4s (i.e. end points) were mandated that they must now always set a FL consistently on a flow, and set it to a non-zero value, that this would satisfy the requirements of load balancers. In this context, permission would be given to set zero FL to a non-zero value. -- ] He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life! | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/ |device driver[ Kyoto Plus: watch the video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzx1ycLXQSE> then sign the petition. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
