Subject: Re: [9front] [PATCH] ipv6 flow label support
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2023 21:46:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AC9687511792744096FE36FA9EA29735@felloff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375031432.2686734.1700936861177@comcenter.netcologne.de>

hey man,

this looks pretty wild and i cant wrap my head around
why the hell would the *SENDER* put the hash instead
of the receiveriver calculating it...

currently, the user can set the tos field for its
connection using a ctl message... that should
go into the flow label field so its up to the user
making the connection.

is here any RFC suggesting the flowlabel should be
a hash that could easilly be calculated by the
receiver on the existing ip header fields?

i really need more context to convince me that this
is the right thing todo.

a rfc would do.
