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

[stefano previdi <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

As author of the original SRH proposal, I follow with quite some interest the discussion around the need of compression of the segment list. At this stage I see at least 4 proposals, each of which brings some valid and interesting arguments:
. draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr
. draft-decraene-spring-srv6-vlsid
. draft-lc-6man-generalized-srh
. draft-filsfils-spring-net-pgm-extension-srv6-usid
. (maybe there are more...)

Also, it looks to me that the ongoing discussion is focused only on one of the above. Are we going to re-spin the same debate for each of these or do we want the WG to conduct an analysis on all of them prior to select one (or maybe two) that would be candidate for adoption ? Certainly, I’d prefer the latter.

So, at this stage I don't support the adoption of draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr and would prefer to see the WG to start an exhaustive analysis on all of the proposals.

Thanks.
s.
