Yes.  (Close enough.)  The current version of the draft is implementable.

It can be useful.

Ready with minor issues, IMO:

Procedure-wise, there needs to be a bit more text covering cases about interactions with other traffic actions.  This was a known headache for similar drafts such as redirect-to-ip.  In particular, interaction with redirect-to-ip and redirect-to-vrf is needed.

GV> Section "6. Validation Procedures" gives input on this. We discussed this with you long ago and hence this text was added.

"
   While it MUST NOT happen, and is seen as invalid combination, it is
   possible from a semantics perspective to have multiple clashing
   redirect actions defined within a single flowspec rule.  For best and
   consistant compatibility with legacy implementations, the redirect
   functionality as documented by rfc5575bis MUST NOT be broken, and
   hence when a clash occurs, then rfc5575bis based redirect MUST take
   priority.
"

This means that redirect-to-VRF will take absolute priority to not break rfc5575bis behavior.
Having also redirect-to-ip will result in an invalid


The text "A single flowspec rule MUST NOT have more as one indirection-id per S-ID.  On a flowspec client the indirection-id with lowest S-ID MUST be imposed first for any given flowspec entry."  There's no procedure for what happens in error handling when you do have more than one of the same S-ID.  The text about the case for S-ID of 0 is also a bit ambiguous.  It feels like it's reading "there is no sequence", but what do you do when you then have ones that do?

GV> What about the following rewrite:

Original:
    The 'S-ID' field identifies a 4 bit Sequence ID field.  This field is
   used to provide a flowspec client an indication how and where to
   sequence the received indirection-ids.  The Sequence ID value 0
   indicates that Sequence ID field is NOT set and SHOULD be ignored.  A
   single flowspec rule MUST NOT have more as one indirection-id per
   S-ID.  On a flowspec client the indirection-id with lowest S-ID MUST
   be imposed first for any given flowspec entry.

New:
   The 'S-ID' field identifies a 4 bit Sequence ID field.  This field is
   used to provide a flowspec client an indication how and where to
   sequence the received indirection-ids.  The Sequence ID value 0
   indicates that Sequence ID field is NOT set and **all other sequence ID's**
   SHOULD be ignored.  A
   single flowspec rule MUST NOT have more as one indirection-id per
   S-ID.  On a flowspec client the indirection-id with lowest S-ID MUST
   be imposed first for any given flowspec entry.

GV> In section *6. Validation procedure" there is text to handle the error condition when the flowspec rule results in an invalid redirection, that prescribe what needs to happen when the "redirect to indirection-id" does not result in a valid redirection:

"
   While it MUST NOT happen, and is seen as invalid combination, it is
   possible from a semantics perspective to have multiple clashing
   redirect actions defined within a single flowspec rule.  For best and
   consistant compatibility with legacy implementations, the redirect
   functionality as documented by rfc5575bis MUST NOT be broken, and
   hence when a clash occurs, then rfc5575bis based redirect MUST take
   priority.  Additionally, if the "Redirect to indirection-id" does not
   result in a valid redirection, then the flowspec rule MUST be
   processed as if the "Redirect to indirection-id" community was not
   attached to the flowspec route.
"

GV> Is there more to add to this? (We could add a line to detail that "redirect-to-ip" is incompatible with "redirect to indirection-id" and result in invalid redirection rule, however to me that is already implied with enough detail in the text above)

A few IANA issues:
I see the type registry is currently registered with IANA (code point 0x09).  However, the sub-type registry is not established for some reason?
The ID-Type field likely needs its own IANA registry.  Values 1-5 are defined in this draft.

GV> Correct. There is a reason for this. When we asked IANA the code-points they informed me that once the document get to RFC the sub-type registry will be established by IANA.

The flags field (one octet) currently has 3 bits reserved.  In the past, we've not done a registry for such cases (c.f. graceful restart) until we need to start carving out those reserved bits for future extensions.  I leave it to the chairs' opinion whether we want this a priori or not.
