Re: [mpls] Poll 2: New SPL vs re-purposed ELI for carrying Network Action Indicators

Greg,

Extending the ELI as per draft-decraene-mpls-slid-encoded-entropy-label-id does not break RFC 6790 nor RFC8662.
If you believe that it does, please cites the sentences from both draft-decraene-mpls-slid-encoded-entropy-label-id and RFC/6790/8662 that would contradict each other or would be incompatible.

Thank you,
--Bruno

Dear Loa, MPLS WG Chairs, Open DT, et al.,
I believe that re-using ELI to address the requirements listed in draft-ietf-mpls-miad-mna-requirements will definitely break implementations of RFC 6790 and RFC 8662. Thus I oppose re-using ELI to indicate the presence of an MNA in a packet. I think that the specifics of the mechanism indicating the presence of an MNA should be discussed separately from the framework document.

Regards,
Greg

MPLS Working Group, MPLS Open DT,

The MPLS Network Actions (MNA) framework requires a method of indicating
the presence of a Network Action and any Ancillary Data.

Is the consensus of the working group that we do this by:

   (1) allocating a new SPL for Network Action Indicators?

   (2) re-purposing the ELI SPL?

   (3) using some other method of indicating this such as making it an
       additional property of an ordinary label?

Please respond to the MPLS WG mail list.
