They are not useful, as you can't depend on them.
- exabrial 2y agoWasn't aware of this actually, whats the issue with them?
- cyberax 2y agoIf you're using solely the flow labels to do load balancing, malicious clients can force traffic to come through only one load balancer by setting the same flow label. You need to add the source IP/port into the mix. But they alone are in practice enough for decent load balancing.
