I am on the diffserv list.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

To be consistent with previous decisions related to
the DSMON MIB, the RMONMIB WG would prefer it if the
WG owning IPv6 flow standards would publish a MIB
module containing the appropriate TCs, so we can import
them into the SSPM MIB.

thanks,
Andy
