Re: [spring] Progressing Standardizing SR over IPv6 compression

The question we are asking you to comment on is:

Should the working group standardize one data plane behavior for
compressing SRv6 information?

Yes

>From an operators perspective interoperability is critical and utmost
importance, so we cannot risk having vendors pick their own solution they
like and develop that solution.

One of the primary goals and objectives of the IETF and all the
stakeholders in the industry rely on the IETF to maintain uphold the high
bar when it comes to standardization.

The major risk in having multiple solutions for a data plane is the risk of
interoperability as vendors may pick and choose their favorite and what
they want to develop which can really hurts the entire router industry.
