Hi!
I'm currently doing some work for netfilter_ipv6 / ip6tables and had a
very extensive look into the current linux 2.4.0-testX ipv6 code.
The most obvious question arising was:
Why is struct ipv6hdr still implementing the old RFC1883 style
4-bit prio and 24-bit flowlabel fields instead of the RFC2460
8-bit tc and 20-bit flowlabel fields?
Is this just some legacy which nobody got around to change? If this is
the case, I'm going to update this. Are there any other reasons?
