[mpls] Extension headers structure

[Vasilenko Eduard <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

About today's discussion.

I would like to discuss at the subsequent meeting a completely different proposal that I am not sure you would accept.

Hence, it makes sense to improve the current one. I am not happy about “0LTTV” structure: redundant “0” and one “T” in every extension header.

It is just a matter of human interpretation - it does not have any difference for hardware. I propose to return to the “TLV” structure.

Look to the attached - it is a little animated. But the essence is probably possible to understand from this picture:

Except for alignment. If you are sure that alignment is always possible for the MPLS stack - then the current proposal makes sense.
(I did not say the better – I still prefer less redundancy).



Eduard

Hi Tarek,

I'm a bit lost between "track1" and "track2" scopes..



Wiki says:

              Week 2 and 4: Track 1 "Below the BoS"

              Week 3 and 5: Track 2 "Above the BoS"



And the agenda looks like some mix of the two?
