Linda, If we do, indeed, set the MD-1 encoding schema ID into the NSH, itself, it doesn’t seem like 2 bits would be adequate. Perhaps the fixed 16 bytes should grow to include a prepend byte(s) that identifies the encoding schema.

It also proposed to add some bits in NSH, such as reserving 2 bits in the MD-Type field, to identify the exact meaning of the Mandatory Context Headers. This solution don't bother the length field as well as the MD-type=1/2. But is requires the original MD Type field to make 2 bits room for this purpose. On the other hand, I do agree that, both draft-wang-sfc-md-type-issues-02 and draft-vandevelds-sfc-nsh-overload try to propose the issue, we may agree/disagree on the different approaches, but there should find a agreeable solution for how to understand the exact meaning in the Mandatory Context Headers fields in mixed scenarios.
