Re: Detailed approaches for demux



 In your previous mail you wrote:

   When re-homing, also use the same flow label value with alternative 
   locators.
   
   Demux at the receiver side is performed based on (flow label, src, dst)
   
=> as the triple is chosen by the transmitter after a re-homing the
receiver side should not rely on src (*) so there is a possible
collision with another node using the same flow label value (**).

PS *: as you explain it is possible to solve the source locator issue
because possible values are known and should not be shared. This doesn't
work with mobility but works well with multi-homing.
PS **: this is the drawback of the assignment by the transmitter: when
the tag is assigned by the side using it for demux the tag itself is enough.
