Hi,

IPv6 is supposed to be "THE" protocol to be used for IP QoS. Its header
contains two fields that can be used by QoS mechanisms. However, I haven't
seen any mechanism that really fullfill the QoS promise. 

Does anybody know if such mechanisms are being (or have been) developped to
provide QoS with IPv6. ?

I do know that Diffserv can be used with IPv6 but as far as I can see (but I
haven't really studied it thoroughly) there is no benefit of using Diffserv
for IPv6 compared to using Diffserv for IPv4. If I am wrong I would like to
hear what the IPv6 advantage is here!
