Implementation of IPv6 Flow Label in UMJaNetSim / Au Yee Boon

The IPv6 Flow label[ Deering&Hinden, 1998a] is defined as a 20-bit field in the IPv6 header which may be used by a source to label sequences of packets for which it request special handling by the IPv6 routers, such as non-default of service or"real-time" service. This project discusse...

description The IPv6 Flow label[ Deering&Hinden, 1998a] is defined as a 20-bit field in the IPv6 header which may be used by a source to label sequences of packets for which it request special handling by the IPv6 routers, such as non-default of service or"real-time" service. This project discusses the implementation of IPv6 flow label to UMJaNetSim. It involves the proposed specifications of IPv6 flow label in order to provide a more efficient quality of service of network. Currently, the IPv6 flow label was still experimental, and subject to change, as the requirements for flow supports in the Internet were evolving. This project provides an analysis of the IPv definition of the flow label, the rules governing its use, and their implications. It subsequently makes a proposal for additions/modifications to these rules, which improve the usability of the IPv6 flow label, in term of providing a better quality of service of network. The main aim of this project is to enhance the UMJaNetSim with IPv6 Flow Label, and study the uses of IPv6 flow label to provide a more efficient quality of service of network.
