[bess] A question about Section 3.3 of RFC 9819

[Alexander Vainshtein <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,
I have a question about Section 3.3 of RFC 9819<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9819#section-3.3>.

To the best of my understanding, this section defines the way in which Locator and Function of a SRv6 SID carried in the EVPN IMET route are combined with the Argument of this SID (when applicable) carried in the per-ES Ethernet A-D route if the structures of SIDs described in these routes are not identical as following:

  *   LBL, LNL, and FL of the combined SID are taken from the SID structure carried in the IMET route
  *   AL of the combined SID is taken from the SID structure carried in the per-ES Ethernet A-D route
  *   All the bits in the SID after (LBL+LNL+FN+AL) MUST be set to zeroes.

Unless I have missed something, this section does not say how to handle the situation when LBL+LNL+FN+AL) exceeds 128.

My guess is this would be yet another case to declare the Argument as unusable.

What, if anything, did I miss?

Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
