Tony, 

I asked for clarifications. You didn't respond. 
I am sorry, in their absence, I would repeat again, what 
I said based on what I understood you saying, and you were quite vague
in that sentence: 

I strongly believe, and am not the only one, please see earlier messages
in the thread, packet forwarding and QoS processing in line 
cards on routers at wire 
speed is too critical to afford the use of flow label in the network 
layer header, to pass duplicate information from source to destination, 
that has no network layer meaning, or use in the network.
