Re: FW: FW: FlowId and FlowIdOrAny




- Someone creates a new ID that contains a small MIB module
  that contains two TCs:

  FlowId            TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
      DISPLAY-HINT "d"
      STATUS        current
      DESCRIPTION  "The flow identifier or flow Label in an IPv6
                    header that may be used to discriminate traffic
                    flows.
                   "
      SYNTAX        Integer32 (0..1048575)

  FlowIdOrAny       TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
      DISPLAY-HINT "d"
      STATUS        current
      DESCRIPTION  "The flow identifier or flow lable in an IPv6
                    header that may be used to discriminate traffic
                    flows.  The value of -1 is used to indicate a
                    wildcard, i.e. any value.
                   "
      SYNTAX        Integer32 (-1 | 0..1048575)
Is there are reason for referring to this as the "flow identifier
or flow label"?  The field in IPv6 is unambiguously called the
"flow label", as far as I know.
