Re: Higher level question about flow label

[Francis Dupont]

 In your previous mail you wrote:

   I think the WG needs to decide once and for all whether the flow label is
      a) a CATNIP or MPLS-like routing handle 
   or b) a QOS hint for intserv only
   or c) a QOS hint for intserv and diffserv
   or d) a waste of bits
   
=> I vote for b)

PS: Intserv is not 100% dead because there is an environment (wireless)
where to get more bandwidth is really expensive (in Europe at least :-).
PPS: there is another usage: flow-based switching for fast routing
but I don't believe this really helps (petabit router vendors?)
