I don't agree.
=> What do you not agree about? I agree about the should but not the will.
Technical there is no reason to set the flow label in the edge router but
it is very common for not technical reason to see the edge router doing
the *Serv stuff on the behalf of the real source.
The cell phone or audio server will set the flowlabel.
=> it is not what happens today then we should not fordid that the edge
router rewrites the flow label.
Which is a good piece of work and I agree with Itojun's presentation of
the flowlabel. Its set by the end node.
=> don't confuse the real and the ideal worlds.
