  "abstract": "RFC 8372 (\"MPLS Flow Identification Considerations\") describes the requirement for introducing flow identities within the MPLS architecture.  This document describes a method of accomplishing this by using a technique called \"Synonymous Flow Labels\" in which labels that mimic the behavior of other labels provide the identification service.  These identifiers can be used to trigger per-flow operations on the packet at the receiving label switching router.",
