Thanks pablo , now clear about uA sid.  Better to add more explanations in the draft, so that draft readers don’t bother you 😊

A generic question:

1) what is the difference between
42 | 0x002A | uN | [This.ID] |
43| 0x002B | uN (S&L+End) | [This.ID] |

2) So these two does not support PSP & USD flavors ?
42 | 0x002A | uN | [This.ID] |
51 | 0x0033 | uA | [This.ID] |


Thanks
Rajesh

Hi peter,

1)  What is the difference between these 2 SIDs
42 | 0x002A | uN | [This.ID] |
46 | 0x002E | uN (S&L+End PSP/USP) | [This.ID] |

uN SID (End behavior with NEXT-CSID, PSP and USD flavors) ,  uN (S&L+End PSP/USD)
[PC] This is a typo. The example in 4.1.1 needs to be corrected to use | 48    | 0x0030 |    uN (S&L+End PSP/USD)    | [This.ID] |

2)  just to continue below discussion, can you confirm
51 | 0x0033 | uA                              - here FIB must have 2001:db8:0:FNAJ::/64 route (16 bit Compressed-SID)
52 | 0x0034 | uA (S&X+End.X)     -  here FIB must have 2001:db8:0:0N00:FNAJ::/80 route (32 bit Compressed-SID)

[PC] Not the case. The FIB entry must have 2001:db8:0:FNAJ::/64. This is independent on which flavor the node supports 51-59.
Note that it may also be possible for a packet to arrive to the node with uN uSID followed by a uA.
In such case the packet arriving at the node is 2001:db8:0:0N00:FNAJ::, whereas 0N00 is a uN at node N, and FNAJ is a uA at node N toward neighbor J
I can add a note about this in the next revision of the draft.

Thanks
Rajesh

It's explained in the section 4.1.2.1:

"In order to signal in ISIS a container SID with the same routable semantics as End.X"

In other words, we wanted to keep the consistency in a way the SID is advertised for different SID types (e.g. END.X and uA).

thanks,
Peter
