Les,

>  There then remains the question as to whether the “Area Prefix” is anycast or unicast i.e., is it common to all IERs or is it unique to whomever gets elected Area Leader?

> [Les:] This question needs to be directed at those who prefer the Area Prefix approach. It matters as it impacts configuration and advertisement semantics. An anycast prefix is NOT a Node Prefix.
> And it impacts how traffic is forwarded into the area.

> How so?  Traffic will be directed to the SID value (modulo PHP). 
> [Les3:] If the prefix is private to a single router then traffic has to pass through that router. If it is anycast the traffic could arrive at any one of the routers supporting the anycast address.

I must be missing something. My understanding of SR is that you forward based on the label.  Please educate me.
