Flow Label support for IPv6 sockets
Hello everyone,
I'm currently implementing a traffic generator software which could send IPv6 traffic by employing regular stream/dgram sockets. I'm also interested in assigning a specific flow label value for a stream but I have not been able to find any documentation about how to actually do it. Is it really so that the sin6_flowinfo member is currently unsupported even in latest kernel versions and the flow label can not be manually assigned if regular sockets are used? Of course, if I would use raw sockets I could bypass this problem but they can't be used with TCP.
Cheers

If you are generating the traffic yourself... what's stopping you for "building" the packets as you want them?
If anybody does, he'll answer whenever he's got time to do so
