<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">There are multiple proposal floating around flow classifier rules for Liberty [1], [2] and [3].<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">I feel we all should work together and try to address all our use case having a unified framework rather than working separately achieving the same goal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Moreover, I can find the proposal for flow classifier as defined by the existing SFC [2] proposal is too generic and could address all the use cases by minor extension’s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">In this regard, I would like all to come forward, exchange their thoughts, work together and make it happen good the first go rather doing the same effort separately and end up in duplicating code & effort
