>>

>>    special purpose labels, one for each case. Then the SR Path Identifier
>>    would not have to lose the bit for C flag.

>>    out-band to the predefined Collector.
>>    - And the last, have you considered ability to flush counters per

>>    maintained as long as collection of statistics is enabled. If that is on
>>    the node scope, you may have to turn off/on the collection to flush off
>>    some old counters. I think that finer granularity, per flow granularity
>>    would be useful for operators. Again, perhaps the flow itself may be used
>>    to signal the end of the measurement and trigger release of counters.
