Dear Authors,
thank you for bringing your proposal to the discussion. I agree with your
view that the explicit routing enabled by SRv6 creates an environment where
PREOF can be used. And, as we know, The PREOF may be used in a DetNet
domain to lower packet loss ratio and provide bounded latency.
After reading the draft, I've got a question for you. What do you see as
the difference between the IPv6 Flow Label per RFC 6437 and the Flow
Identification field in the TLV proposed in the draft? Could the IPv6 Flow
Label be used to identify the flow for the PREOF?

Regards,
Greg
