[Med] Yes, the issue is how to unambiguously identify which semantic is associated with a single bit. For the sake if interoperability, more than one bit is needed to cover these cases.

[Med] Yes, typically. 

 The main difficulty of such an approach is that the number of subflows

[Med] For the hybrid access case or within DCs, the number of subflows is not supposed to change that much.

[Med] OK, thanks.
