Is there a reason that hosts/nodes couldn't set the flow label to a site-specific value (and likely not pseudo-random) especially considering that the value may/will be cleared at administrative boundaries? In RFC 3697, #3 Flow Labeling Requirements, it says that the source node can use a well defined sequence like incrementing values, whereas the emphasis in the draft is on pseudo-randomness. If I've missed that discussion, I apologize.
