The IESG has approved the following document: - 'SRv6 Segment Identifiers in the IPv6 Addressing Architecture' (draft-ietf-6man-sids-06.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-sids/ Technical Summary The data plane for Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) is built using IPv6 as the underlying forwarding plane. Due to this underlying use of IPv6, Segment Identifiers (SIDs) used by SRv6 can resemble IPv6 addresses and behave like them while exhibiting slightly different behaviors in some situations. This document explores the characteristics of SRv6 SIDs and to clarify the relationship of SRv6 SIDs to the IPv6 Addressing Architecture. Working Group Summary This document was drafted in response to 6MAN and SPRING working group exchanges on the implications of compressed SIDs. This document itself was not the subject of any heated debate. Document Quality Special thanks to Suresh Krishnan for taking up the authorship pen to write this document in response to 6MAN and SPRING discussions. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Jen Linkova. The Responsible Area Director is Erik Kline. IANA Note This document makes a prefix allocation request of IANA (section 6 of -05).
