Hi,

In RFC 3697, it says:

"A flow is a sequence of packets sent from a particular source to a
   particular unicast, anycast, or multicast destination that the source
   desires to label as a flow."

It later says the usage of a flow:

"The usage of the 3-tuple of the Flow Label and the Source and
   Destination Address fields enables efficient IPv6 flow
   classification, where only IPv6 main header fields in fixed positions
   are used."

I am confused why we can't use a flow label to effectively identify a flow
from a host behind a CPE in the AFTR. In what part this usage is against the
specification?

Thanks,
Yiu
