Re: [mpls] [spring] to progress draft-cheng-spring-mpls-path-segment

Dear All,
I concur with all what has been said in support of the adoption of this
draft by SPRING WG. The document is well-written, addresses the real
problem in SR-MPLS, and the proposed solution is technically viable.
My comments and questions are entirely for further discussion:

   - would the draft be expanded to demonstrate how "the Path Segment may
   be used to identify an SR-MPLS Policy, its Candidate-Path (CP) or a SID
   List (SL)"?
   - as many use cases for the Path Segment are related to OAM operations,
   it would be helpful to expand on the use of GAL and the Path Segment.

Regards,
Greg
