Hi Brian, 

Many thanks for mentioning C-SID. Actually, the concepts of C-SID is really easy to be understood, and it is almost there in the IPv6 address natively due to the address planning.

Also,  this concept of C-SID is described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-filsfilscheng-spring-srv6-srh-comp-sl-enc-01 as well.

In G-SRv6 for compression[1], a C-SID can be called as Generalized SID(G-SID), and actually, they are the same thing.

Anyway, it is always good to make the concepts clear. 

Will read the documents of CRH ASAP, though it takes times :(

Thanks,
Cheng

Hi Ron,

Looking at your draft plus this extra material, I still think that the concept of a SID is helicoptered in to some extent. It isn't obvious to me that a SID in CRH is semantically the same thing as a SID in the Spring WG. Either it is, in which case you should cite the relevant SID RFC, or it isn't, in which case there is some more writing to do.

I think you could also give an ack to the C-SIDs in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lc-6man-generalized-srh-00

Regards
