Re: [spring] Question about SRv6 Insert function

[Fernando Gont <[e-mail]>]

Folks,

There was a very significant discussion during the IETF LC to make it
crystal clear that IPv6 EHs cannot be inserted. This is clearly codified
in RFC8200.

Are the two documents referenced bellow going against the RFC8200 standard?

Thanks,
Fernando
