Hello The Community,

We submit this draft (below) to propose large flow classification in IPv6.
This classification can enable differentiated flow-based-routing over ECMP,
which can improve the load balance. 

Look forward to talking this subject with the group in Maastricht.

Regards,
Lucy

A new version of I-D, draft-yong-6man-large-flow-classification-00.txt has
been successfully submitted by Lucy Yong and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-yong-6man-large-flow-classification
Revision:	 00
Title:		 Large Flow Classification in IPv6 Protocol
Creation_date:	 2010-06-18
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 8

Abstract:
Network traffic has shown the combination of few very high bit
rate flows (large flow) and huge amount of very low bit flows
(small flow), which causes uneven load balance over ECMP paths.
Differentiating large flow and small flow packets in IP/MPLS
networks enables enhanced ECMP transport. Enhanced ECMP applies
different distribution methods to large flow packets and small
flow packets to improve the load balance. The classification also
enables an effective congestion control. This draft proposes large
flow classification in IPv6 protocol for this purpose.
