Hi Joel Please see section 3 and 5 of SRv6 BGP overlay draft below. t is my understanding that the 20 byte VPN service label MPLS bottom of stack label is encoded into the function portion or the SRv6 service SID. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06 Section 2 o SRv6 L3 Service TLV: This TLV encodes Service SID information for SRv6 based L3 services. It corresponds to the equivalent functionality provided by an MPLS Label when received with a Layer 3 service route as defined in [RFC4364 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4364>] [RFC4659 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4659>] [RFC8950 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8950>] [I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-prefix-advertisement <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06#ref-I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-prefix-advertisement>]. Some behaviors which MAY be encoded, but not limited to, are End.DX4, End.DT4, End.DX6, End.DT6, etc. Section 6 5.1 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06#section-5.1>. IPv4 VPN Over SRv6 Core The MP_REACH_NLRI over SRv6 core is encoded according to IPv4 VPN Over IPv6 Core defined in [RFC8950 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8950>]. Label field of IPv4-VPN NLRI is encoded as specified in [RFC8277 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8277>] with the Label Value set to the Function part of the SRv6 SID when the Transposition Scheme of encoding (Section 4 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06#section-4>) is used and otherwise set to Implicit NULL. SRv6 Service SID is encoded as part of the SRv6 L3 Service TLV. The behavior of the SRv6 SID is entirely up to the originator of the advertisement. In practice, the behavior is End.DX4 or End.DT4. 5.2 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06#section-5.2>. IPv6 VPN Over SRv6 Core The MP_REACH_NLRI over SRv6 core is encoded according to IPv6 VPN over IPv6 Core is defined in [RFC4659 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4659>]. Label field of the IPv6-VPN NLRI is encoded as specified in [RFC8277 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8277>] with the Label Value set to the Function part of the SRv6 SID when the Transposition Scheme of encoding (Section 4 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-06#section-4>) is used and otherwise set to Implicit NULL. SRv6 Service SID is encoded as part of the SRv6 L3 Service TLV. The behavior of the SRv6 SID is entirely up to the originator of the advertisement. In practice, the behavior is End.DX6 or End.DT6.
