Abstract
This memo describes a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option type used as an explicit security label. The hosts supporting Labeled Security add this option to the packets they originate in order to convey the sensitivity of the data. The routers that recognize this option will use it to make routing decision, in conformance with a pre-established policy. The IPSec protection requirements and a transition scheme from the existing IPv4 security options to the LS option are also proposed.
