I admit there could be people who wants to use:
- multiple flows (= multiple flow label value) in a single TCP session
- multiple TCP sessions with single flow label value
however, I could not find a good (a simple and usable) UNIX API to make
the above option happen, so I simplified the story.
At least, the latter case can easily be handled by "single TCP session
per single flow label".
I documented the issue in section 5 of my draft.
