Is that correct? Is there other usage of flow label? RFC 3697 defines it as: A flow is a sequence of packets sent from a particular source to a particular unicast, anycast, or multicast destination that the source desires to label as a flow. A flow could consist of all packets in a specific transport connection or a media stream. However, a flow is not necessarily 1:1 mapped to a transport connection. It is intended to label a flow. It does not specify a path.
