Robin,

Thank you very much for the nice presentation.

Continue the question I asked during the SPRING Session, is the  "INTENT" in your draft meant to identify the characteristics of the flow that the packet belongs to? Such as a packet has a "INTENT" value to indicate that it belongs to a flow that needs high bandwidth, or another "INTENT" value indicating that the packet belongs to a flow that requires low latency?

Who inject the "INTENT" value into the packets? Is it based on some policies? If yes, can a node use the same "policies" to steer the packet instead of using "INTENT" value?

Thank you very much,

Linda Dunbar
