This discussion about "not enough bits" is simply attempting to quantify some of the costs involved. I keep harping about it because the cost is NOT zero, and I think the document should cite that cost and compare the costs/benefits to alternative approaches like using DSCP (which *does* have zero cost in addressing). We do that analysis, we write it down, and then we can decide if it's a good idea or not.
Argh. I don't think anybody ever said that there was no cost to these bits, and I agree that the cost should be discussed. So I guess we've been arguing over a nonexistent disagreement! :|
