However, since the current network is lack of enough information of service requirements of such applications it is difficult to guarantee the SLA or it may take long time to provide such guarantee. This document proposes the solution to make use of IPv6 extensions header to convey the service requirement information along with the packet to the network to facilitate the service deployment and network resource adjustment to guarantee SLA for applications. Then it defines the service-aware options which can be used in the different IPv6 extension headers for the purpose.}, }
