I would start here, consider it ground truth

https://www.iab.org/wp-content/IAB-uploads/2010/11/hourglass-london-ietf.pdf

I deleted my drafted diatribe about complexity and about how and where the
ietf went wrong, but the first page of this i-d has a clue about what
SPRING is really about

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-filsfils-spring-net-pgm-extension-srv6-usid-00

I am with others, who delete these threads unread in 6man. I am hoping
cooler heads will prevail, and SPRING will leave the Internet standard ipv6
alone, and create their own protocol, the protocol they want. They can take
the ground up experimental status like LISP did.  Just get it all out there
with minimal blockers.

Meanwhile, i will be quietly serving 100M+ users with the original ipv6
that “just works”
