FW: Adoption Call for "The IPv6 Compact Routing Header (CRH)"

["Ketan Talaulikar (ketant)" <[e-mail]>]

Hello Spring WG,

You might be very interested in this ongoing WG adoption poll for the CRH proposal (what was previously introduced in Spring as part of the SRm6 proposal).

The authors are now claiming that theirs is a new IPv6 source routing proposal that is unrelated to work/charter of Spring WG and not Segment Routing [1] & [2].

The authors and 6man chairs seem to agree that this is not related to Spring [3].

However, following the conversations in 6man, it seems clear to me that this is indeed a new IPv6 data-plane proposal that builds on Spring work [RFC8402] but avoids attribution to it to give an illusion of it being a new standalone IPv6 Source Routing solution.

If you were looking for a document that describes the architecture, applicability, use-cases or requirements for this "new solution", well there isn't anything other than the CRH draft itself [4] (the new version does not talk about SRm6 anymore).

Just thought of letting know ... 

Thanks,
Ketan

This message starts a two-week 6MAN call on adopting:

 Title:          The IPv6 Compact Routing Header (CRH)
 Authors:        R. Bonica, Y. Kamite, T. Niwa, A. Alston, L. Jalil
 File Name:      draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr-21
 Document date:  2020-05-14

 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr

as a working group item. Substantive comments regarding adopting this document should be directed to the mailing list.  Editorial suggestions can be sent to the authors.

Please note that this is an adoption call, it is not a w.g. last call for advancement, adoption means that it will become a w.g. draft.  As the working group document, the w.g. will decide how the document should change going forward.

This adoption call will end on 29 May 2020.

The chairs note there has been a lot of discussions on the list about this draft.   After discussing with our area directors, we think it is appropriate to start a working group adoption call.  The authors have been active in resolving issues raised on the list.

Could those who are willing to work on this document, either as contributors, authors or reviewers please notify the list.   That gives us an indication of the energy level in the working group
to work on this.

Regards,
Bob and Ole
