Hi Brian,

I am pleased with the diff serv bits and that they work with IPv4 and
IPv6. Its the assumptions after the bits are set that may have me
concerned. I think QOS is an over used and abused term. I think
discussing diff serv and int serv is goodness. int serv is my agenda
not messing up diff serv.
But if diff serv depends on extracting layer 4 information as a manner
of standard then I think they went off the edge, "literally" :---).
Another option for products that want to look at layer 4 information is
to define a new destination option. One can put whatever they want in
those.
