Mirrored SID  in Section 2.5 refers to RFC8402 section 5.1, which AFAIK is
correct. What link needs to be updated?

[RFC8402, Section 5.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls-19#section-5.1>]
-  doesn't point to RFC8402 section 5.1

thanks,

> 1.  The text in Section 1 states that “*a network operator SHOULD configure at least one node segment per routing instance, topology, algorithm*” and continues that “*An implementation MAY check that an IGP node-SID is not associated with a prefix that is owned by more than one router within the same routing domain, If so, it SHOULD NOT use this Node-SID, MAY use another one if available, and SHOULD log an error*”. This looks somewhat controversial to me because:
>
> a.  The check of the Node SID not being owned by more than one router in the routing domain is defined as purely optional. According to RFC 2119, implementations that choose to implement such a check must be able to interoperate with implementations that do not implement it
>
> b.  The recommended handling of the results of this check (fully aligned with the text in Section 3.2 pf RFC 8402 that prohibits using prefixes owned by more than one router in the domain as Node-SODs) strongly suggests that the prefix that is owned by more than one router in the domain is unusable as the Node SID
>
> I see two possibilities to resolve this controversy: either make the check in question a “real requirement” (i.e., replace *MAY* with *SHOULD* or even *MUST*), or explain why it is safe enough not to implement such a check (i.e., how implementations that support this check and implementations that do not support it can interoperate within a given routing domain). The first of these options seems to me aligned with Section 3.2 in RFC 8402 that says that “*An IGP Node-SID MUST NOT be associated with a prefix that is owned by more than one router within the same routing domain*”.

The Section in question deals with incoming label collision (in fact, the text that immediately follows the problematic fragment states that “*The objective of the following steps is to deterministically install in the MPLS Incoming Label Map, also known as label FIB, a single FEC with the incoming label "L1"*”
