Hi John,

Sorry for delay in the response; I was away from the emails. Please see in-line.

Thanks

<snip>
 <snip> procedure (in draft-hegde-spring-traffic-accounting-for-sr-paths) that breaks SR Architecture, highly unscalable and complicated to implement.

[JD]  Do you have any evidence to justify any of your assertions, above?

Please note that in draft-hegde-spring-traffic-accounting-for-sr-paths:

•    The transit node needs to be able to recognize the special label, read the SR Path Identification label and update the counter against such “states”.
•    The draft proposes to push (up to) 3 Labels for each segment in the SR Path. That means that label stack is increased up to 3x times! This is a serious a scaling issue.
•    The controller needs to keep track of transit node capability and push the additional per-path labels, accordingly. I.e., the controller also needs to maintain such information for the transit nodes.
