Flow Labels
A flow is a sequence of packets sent from a
particular source to a particular (unicast or
multicast) destination for which the source
desires special handling by the intervening
routers.
A flow label is assigned to a flow by the flow's
source node. New flow labels must be chosen
(pseudo-) randomly and uniformly from the range 1
to FFFFFF hex.
All packets belonging to the same flow must be
sent with the same source address, same
destination address, and same non-zero flow label.
