FW: FlowId change in framework PIB

["Hahn, Scott" <scott.hahn@intel.com>]

All,
The authors of the framework PIB would like to make the following change
prior to RFC publication and we have been asked by our AD to do a "mini
last call" on this particular change. If you have any issues with the
description of the IPv6 flowid (frwkIpFilterFlowId) please send your
comments to the list by Monday 2/24/03 (5:00pm EST), otherwise we will
proceed with this change.

Thanks and sorry for the short notice.
	Scott Hahn
	RAP WG co-chair

Subject: FlowId change



To support a wildcard value for the frwkIpFilterFlowId object we 
are proposing the following change:

OLD:

frwkIpFilterFlowId OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX         Unsigned32 (0..1048575)
      STATUS         current
      DESCRIPTION
         "The flow identifier in an IPv6 header."

NEW:

frwkIpFilterFlowId OBJECT-TYPE
   SYNTAX        Integer32 (-1 | 0..1048575)
   DESCRIPTION
   "The flow label or flow identifier in an IPv6 header 
    that may be used to discriminate traffic flows.
    The value of -1 for this attribute MUST imply that 
    any flow label value in the IPv6 header will match, 
    resulting in the flow label field of the IPv6 header 
    being ignored for matching this filter entry."
