it's called "redistribution". Sure, nobody stops you to redistribute locators between protocols. Please note that it is not something that is specified by the IETF, because it's an internal implementation detail. 
 From protocol perspective, there is nothing specific needed to support that.

[Cheng] Cool. Get it.

When you leak the locator TLV, you leak it as it is, including END SIDs.

When you summarize multiple locators, you would advertise only the summary prefix - in IP reachability TLV I would think.

This is the same as with SR MPLS. If you leak a prefix, you include SIDs. If you summarize at the area border, no SIDs are advertised with the summary itself.


[Cheng] Agree. That is what I thought. When we summarize at the are border, no SIDs are advertised with the summary itself. Thank you!


thanks,
Peter
