| I sure see a difference. If my stack does that for me

If your router does it, and you don't want it to, you reconfigure the
router, or if that's not possible, you replace it. If it isn't your
choice to change that, then you're probably attempting to defeat the
policies of your local net.
| I can. It's the slippery slope to MIDCOM.
I have learned to largely ignore slippery slope arguments. They're
mostly FUD.

| we save a couple of bits out of the field which
| define the sematics of the flow lable.
Are you paying any attention to what is being suggested? Really?
| The beauty of Alex and Jarno's proposal is it's
| simplicity. Mucking with that isn't likely
| to provide anything new, IMO.
What I have been describing ie *exactly* what is in their draft
(as it stands now, before any input from the SLC meeting, or this
discussion on the list has had a chance to affect it).
Have you read it?
