Re: [OSPF] OSPFv2 SR draft

[Chris Bowers <[e-mail]>]

Les and Peter,

I have also been pursuing the approach you suggest.  

The following request to clarify draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-09 on this topic was sent on  Aug. 3rd.  

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spring/current/msg02273.html

Hopefully, we can get closure on these clarifications soon.

Thanks,
Chris

[Les:] I strongly agree with this approach. If one wants to understand how the MPLS dataplane works with SR then the following documents are relevant:

https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-09.txt
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls-05.txt
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-ldp-interop-04.txt

References to these documents can be included in the IGP drafts - but we should not try to repurpose the IGP drafts to cover material which is covered far more completely in the above drafts. 

If you feel there is something which needs to be added/revised to any of the above drafts to more accurately explain algorithm specific forwarding please make the comment in the context of one of those drafts.
