Re: [spring] WG Last Call for draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls-06

I agree with Martin,

I think we have discussed this at length and I wouldn't re-spin the debate (and come to the same conclusion again and again). The manageability section of the architecture draft mention that a node may want to signal its stack capabilities and we have igp extensions for that.

Or rather, the additional efficiency gained by using mor than 1 additional segment is very small. We compare a global real backbone network with current routing, theoretical MCF optimization and realistic optimization with 1 (or 2 or 3) additional traffic engineering segments (aka 2-SR, 3-SR, 4-SR).
