Re: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Route ICMPv6 errors with the flow when ECMP in use

However, for it to work IPv6 flow labels have to be same in both
directions (i.e. reflected) or need to be chosen in a manner that
ensures that the flow going in the opposite direction would actually
be routed to a given path.

My understanding is that this is not really guaranteed, and that
entities are nearly encouraged to set the flow label in whatever
manner makes sense for their use case.

I think we really cannot have any kind of hard dependency on how
flow labels are set and used by the internet.
