Tom,

The RSVP message I'm proposing doesn't say "Never mind the SESSION in 
this message, I'm related to every flow with the same first hop". It 
says "These are the marking probabilities for the SESSION in this 
message". Then the PCN-ingress (not the message) infers that all 
other flows that share the same aggregate will share the same marking 
probability, because PCN marking on interior nodes is random and unbiased.

It's a subtle distinction, but it preserves the semantics of RSVP 
messages, without the three disadvantages of setting up an RSVP 
aggregate that I mentioned.

You will have seen from the rest of the message that I have not 
rejected the concept of aggregation, I am merely saying that the 
PCN-ingress and PCN-egress can hold the concept internally.
