Abstract:
   This document defines a solution to encode a slice identifier in MPLS
   in order to distinguish packets that belong to different slices, to
   allow enforcing per network slice policies (.e.g, Qos).

   The slice identification is independent of the topology.  It allows
   for QoS/DiffServ policy on a per slice basis in addition to the per
   packet QoS/DiffServ policy provided by the MPLS Traffic Class field.

   In order to minimize the size of the MPLS stack and to ease
   incremental deployment the slice identifier is encoded as part of the
   Entropy Label.

   This document also extends the use of the TTL field of the Entropy
   Label in order to provide a flexible set of flags called the Entropy
   Label Control field.
