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

[Robert Raszuk <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

I would like to formally state that I do not support adoption
of draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr

Reasons:

* Those interested in source routing with IPv6 can use existing solutions.
If current set of solutions lacks some functionality SPRING WG can be the
right forum to discuss the missing elements or for that matter to discuss
rational to specify new SRH TLV which could even carry CRIDs if WG decides
it is a good idea.

* Those however interested in zero overhead, simple IPv6 based path
engineering can use Reference based Routing (RbR) proposal which either
does not require any protocol changes at all or could define a new routing
header to only carry 32 bits reference ID irrespective of number of
midpoints to traverse. Ref:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/Ef05LFFij45mm8fM8hLFXknxoIA/

Kind regards,
Robert.
