All,

there's an open question that requires the wg to agree

The issue here is related to SRGB ranges advertised within the
SR-Cap SubTLV.

The question is: what a receiving router should do when
receiving SRGB ranges that overlaps ?

Knowing that the spec mandates a single SR-Cap SubTLV, the
overlap may happen only within the same SR-Cap subTLV and
therefore it is clearly a local misconfiguration or an 
implementation bug in the router originating the SR-Cap.

Personally, I would recommend to ignore the whole SRGB (not 
only the overlapping ranges) from the faulty router. Ignoring 
only the overlapping ranges would not work since the whole 
index space is affected anyway.

There are different opinions on how the receiving router should 
behave. Ideally, we should converge towards a single solution so
feel free to comment.

Thanks.
s.
