Re: Request to close the LC and move forward//RE: WGLC - draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming

Pablo,

I have been looking at the latest version. See my previous note to Stefano Salsano. I really think that the problem here is that certain things are obvious to SRH experts but not to others, and they simply need more explanation in elementary terms.

It explicitly describes removing a header before the final routing hop, which is explicitly against RFC8200.
