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

[Kentaro Ebisawa <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

I do not support the adoption of this work. (at this timing)

There are a couple of similar proposals (i.e. G-SRH, uSID, VLSID), and I would like to see the discussion among them more matured before adopting any of them as a WG draft so we can avoid the remaining ones to be rejected in future just because there are one already selected as a WG item.

If CRH is not intended to be used for the same purpose as other proposals, then I would like to understand for what and how CRH will be used and clarify it is not trying to solve the same problem which other proposals are also intending to. This way we could compare and adopt one of the other proposals in future as a SRv6 SID compression solution, regardless of the status of this work.

Thanks,
