Yang,

In the diffserv architecture all packets with the same PHB get
the same treatment - so there is no way that different flows
within a class can get different treatments. However, there nothing
to prevent an implementation from going further than the architecture
and doing some type of flow-based additional treatment. But that
would be a proprietary extension.
