This memo suggest a radical and a generic approach in using the 20-bit IPv6 Flow label field to provide Quality-of-Service on the Internet. The approach is generic in the sense that it does not enforce any specific implementation features on the developers; the only thing that will have specific semantics is the flow-label field. The methods of information storage and processing in the routers are router specific and can be implemented in a number of ways. Thus the resulting mechanism suggested here is fully and easily implementable and unambiguous as may be required for real implementations.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
