Re: [spring] I-D Action: draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression-04.txt

[Francois Clad <[e-mail]>]

Dear WG,



This email is to provide further information on the changes to Sec. 7 and 9
in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression-04.



The new text in Sec. 7 describes how a C-SID compliant SR source node may
turn an uncompressed segment list comprising C-SID flavored SIDs into a
compressed segment list. An uncompressed segment list may contain a
combination of NEXT-C-SID and REPLACE-C-SID flavored SIDs, but also any
other SID defined in other documents (e.g., RFC 8986). Compression of
sequences of NEXT-C-SID flavored SIDs and sequences of REPLACE-C-SID
flavored SIDs are described.



The new text in Sec. 9 clarifies that an SR source node requires SID
structure information to perform the compression of a segment list provided
in uncompressed format.



Thanks,

Francois (on behalf of the C-SID co-authors)
