Hi,

I believe there are requirements in
draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression that would allow a compressed
SID to be placed in the IPv6 Destination Address without an SRH being
in the packet where the DA is modified at each hop following the
procedures of the draft. This proposal would have ramifications on
IPv6 addressing, debugging and diagnostics of the network, and
transport layer checksums with a pseudo header. IMO, this isn't just a
trivial optimization nor is it immediately clear to me that the
benefits outweigh the costs.

I believe this proposal merits its own discussion, but haven't been
able to find any details on the motivation, requirements, and
implications of doing segment routing in this manner without an SRH.
It would be quite helpful if the advocates of this proposal could
write the document on this.

Thanks,
Tom
