Re: [mpls] Comments about draft-xiong-mpls-path-segment-sr-mpls-interworking and difference between Path Segment and BSID

Hi Quan,

Thanks for your mail and further discussion.

It is not about Path SID v/s Binding SID, both are needed and each serve a
specific purpose.

The comment I made during 105 was that you are using Path SID to do the
function of Binding SID!

See
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xiong-spring-path-segment-sr-inter-domain-00#section-3.1,
where you say -

  The border nodes should
  install the following MPLS data entries for Path segments:

    incoming label: i-Path
       outgoing label: the SID list of the next domain or link + next i-Path

Here you are not using Path SID for OAM/PM but for the functionality of
Binding SID! That seems like a wrong thing to do!

Thanks!
Dhruv
