Tom,

I've lost the context - I don't think I said an IEA "is composed of 
all flows with the same next hop" or anything like this.

If it helps, I'm not changing the defintion of an IEA, I'm just 
saying it doesn't have to be identified in any wire-protocol; it can 
be known about solely internally on PCN-boundary nodes.
