Re: [mpls] I-D Action: draft-bryant-mpls-unified-ip-sr-03.txt

Hi all,

As you'll see, the document is pretty complete and the mechanism is simple (and
uses existing mechanisms).

The chairs placed this draft and
draft-xu-mpls-unified-source-routing-instruction into "Candidate for WG
adoption" state.
That probably means that we should discuss our draft in Singapore, and we'd be
happy to have some time on the agenda.

Thanks,
Adrian

> Abstract:
>    Segment routing is a source routed forwarding method that allows
>    packets to be steered through a network on paths other than the
>    shortest path derived from the routing protocol.  The approach uses
>    information encoded in the packet header to partially or completely
