Exactly, and that is (IMO clearly) something for flowspec v2 if at all, not this document. > We can however easily require the length of the flow-label field to be 4-octets: > > Type 13 component values MUST be encoded as 4-octet quantity > (numeric_op len=10). > > But this is an exception because we usually use SHOULD there in rfc5575bis (only because of historical incompatibilities that could not be changed in the -bis though), and I am not sure if adding this special case really makes it better (since it does not reduce complexity). There do seem to be a couple "MUST"s as well (but maybe just for fields that are smaller than 1 octet or flags, so the reasoning is a little different than for the case we're looking at). I don't think this issue is significant enough that we need to diverge from 5575bis (and 5575 itself), though, and I do see what you mean about "SHOULD" being most common. > How can we continue? I think it would be okay to just drop the specific mention of 1- and 2-byte encoding for the flow label match, so we have "[t]ype 13 component values SHOULD be encoded as 4-byte quantities (len=10)". I'm of course happy to hear other suggestions as well! Thanks, Ben
