Agreed and knew that when I sent it. Sorry. I think any field that can be legitmately altered by a standard set of interoperablity specs should not be in the ICV. I can see the add value of authenticating the flow label but I have concerns over the benefit of that and performance and change to the implementations.
Why do you think this is important and what problem does it solve?
thanks /jim
I don't necessarily think it is important, but we either have to change the processing description or change the rationale for why we omit it from the ICV, since the current rationale is wrong.
BTW, I don't think there would be a noticeable performance issue if it were included. Unfortunately, AH is slow because of the need to skip over selected fields already, so this is adding to that pain, but probably not by much :-)
