Re: IP/ROHC tunnel with IPv6 - flow label

 

> Would you like to use the flow label to transmit some ROHC data?

Hi, Didier,
I´d like to identify the flow that is appended in rohc packet payload.
For example, suppose a video packet (with ipv6 header) arrives at the
rohc compressor. This video packet (P1) has a flow identifier on his
"flow-label" field. It would be nice if the resulting compressed
packet had a ipv6 header with the same flow identifier ("flow-label
field) of the original packet (P1). This could allow network
management of the compressed packets in many different forms (Qos,
policy-routing).
Is there any roadmap to implement something like this in rohc tunnel?
