Re: [Idr] Contents of Idr digest draft-ietf-idr-sr-policy-safi-00

[Ketan Talaulikar <[e-mail]>]

Hi Abhishek,

The Binding SID sub-TLV is optional and can be skipped. This indicates that
the controller is not specifying a BSID and nor is it indicating a behavior
like "drop-upon-invalid". In this case, per RFC9256, the SRPM on the router
will do the BSID allocation.

Do we really need any flag? If this was not evident, then perhaps we can
add text to section 2.4.2 to clarify this.

Thanks,
Ketan
