Thanks Mirja,

Well, that wasn't the intention. It is meant to be an example of how the forwarding entries are constructed.

As it says at the top of Section 3...
   Note that the examples in
   Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 assume that OSPF or ISIS is enabled: in
   fact, other mechanisms of discovery and advertisement could be used
   including other routing protocols (such as BGP) or a central
   controller.

We could be more explicit in section 3.1 so that, for example...

OLD
   o  The Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) is defined in [RFC8402].
      Router E is SR-MPLS capable, so it advertises an SRGB as described
      in [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions] and
      [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions].
NEW
   o  The Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) is defined in [RFC8402].
      Router E is SR-MPLS capable, so it advertises an SRGB to the other
      SR-MPLS capable routers.  If an IGP is in use then Router E behaves
      as described in [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions] and
      [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions], but other mechanisms
      Could be applied.
END

We'd need to make similar changes throughout the section.

Would such changes be enough for you?

That's good. Thanks. It gives us...

              <t hangText="IP Header Fields:">When encapsulating an MPLS
              packet in UDP, the resulting packet is further encapsulated in
              IP for transmission. IPv4 or IPv6 may be used according to the
              capabilities of the network. The address fields are set as
              described in <xref target="usecases"/>. The other IP header
              fields (such as the ECN field <xref target="RFC6040"/>, the DSCP 
              code point <xref target="RFC2983"/>, or IPv6 Flow Label) on each
              UDP-encapsulated segment SHOULD be configurable according to the
              operator&apos;s policy: they may be copied from the header of the
              incoming packet; they may be promoted from the header of the
              payload packet; they may be set according to instructions
              programmed to be associated with the SID; or they may be
              configured dependent on the outgoing interface and payload.</t>

Best,
Adrian
