I think we need a solution that works for diffserv with ESP.
A solution that only helps IntServ is insufficient.
(DiffServ without ESP doesn't need the flow label
as far as I can see).

So I would actually like something along the lines of Alex's
proposal, but with some differences:

- lose the "IANA assigned" option; replace it by pseudo-random
  numbers as originally defined. Your draft and Jochen's fit right in
  with this.

- figure out a way to make the other option in Alex's draft:

      0                   1
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |0|  Server Port Number| H-to-H protocol|
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

suitable for use by policy-driven diffserv classifiers.
