Hello Team,

I have a doubt regarding below section of the above draft:

4.3.1 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-ipv6-11#section-4.3.1>.
SRv6-ERO Subobject


NAI Type (NT): Indicates the type and format of the NAI contained in
   the object body, if any is present.  If the F bit is set to zero (see
   below) then the NT field has no meaning and MUST be ignored by the
   receiver.  This document reuses NT types defined in [RFC8664
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8664>]:

It seems above highlighted line indicates that if F bit is set to 0 then NT
field MUST be ignored

by the receiver, whereas it should be completely opposite as per below
definition of F bit

from the same draft:


  F: When this bit is set to 1, the NAI value in the subobject body
      is absent.  The F bit MUST be set to 1 if NT=0, and otherwise MUST
      be set to zero.  The S and F bits MUST NOT both be set to 1.


So, I think the above highlighted line needs correction. As NT type refers
to RFC8664, I found

the same mistakes over there as well.

4.3.1 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8664#section-4.3.1>.
SR-ERO Subobject

NAI Type (NT):  Indicates the type and format of the NAI contained in
      the object body, if any is present.  If the F bit is set to zero
      (see below), then the NT field has no meaning and MUST be ignored
      by the receiver.  This document describes the following NT values:

Please let me know if you think differently.


Thanks,
Mrinmoy
