In most modern networks, it is important to have microflow diversity.
When IPv6 and flow-labels aren't an option, this frequently defaults to
UDP or TCP 5-tuples (src/dest IP, protocol, src/dest port)
For instance, how many issues would be solved if there were a well-known
meta-data header that an application could use to describe itself to the
network and middle boxes?
No issues would be solved. Applications would all tag things the same as
the HTTPS traffic to Google to ensure that the network did not prevent the
application developer from making money.
