HI,

So just to make sure I understand this analogy of 16 bit -- 2^16 = 65536
nodes. I think this is only on paper.

Imagine I have 1000 routers so if I divide the 16 bit space by 1000 I get
at most 65 local node behaviours if anyone would like to embed such into
the SID.

That means that if my router have more then 65 interfaces I am not able to
steer packets by src route out of my router ... I must always depend on the
lookup of next SID how to forward the packets.

That also means that if I want to apply any form of NP in segment endpoint
I am quite limited to the number of local functions I could use.

To conclude - Let me restate to what I and others already said - flat SID
space domain wide in mapping plane is a mistake. Yes this is like MPLS, but
this does not make it great again due to that legacy.

Many thx,
R.
