I thought we had a "traffic class" to permit "signaled QoS" for some value of "signaled QoS".

I'm an old fashioned kind of engineer. I'd like to see some folks from router vendors give us precise information about the *exact* use they'll put the flow label information to, and quantitative information about how much better it will be for them to have the flow label than not to have it. Engineering by committee is bad enough -- engineering by committee and by hearsay simultaneously is far worse. Perry -- Perry E.
