Mark,

The point that you are making has already been addressed at the mailer (and indeed you have participated in such discussion)
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/pGS5O53VTDSt2tpc7mm3FVVd0Xk/
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/i0faTfqB-NduzI2VyMyQ6R60dQw/
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/JdpSLS7ax0VUZLG6SINxnOWJzbY/
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/plidxjZFBnd4_mEzGsLC76FZmQ0/
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/67ZG76XRezPXilsP3x339rGpcso/

I don't see the point of starting a new thread from zero that discusses exactly the same thing.

Cheers,
Pablo.

    Ron isn't the only arbiter that you and the SPRING WG have to satisfy.
    
    If the discussion has come up 5 times in the past 5 months, yet hasn't
    been resolved, then I think it says SPRING aren't trying to act in
    good faith to attempt to comply with another IETF working group's
    widely deployed, full Internet Standard protocol, one of only 92
    Internet Standards since 1969.
    
    I'm reminded of when the ITU did something similar to the IETF. I
    think it is now one IETF WG doing a similar thing to another.
    
    RFC5704, "Uncoordinated Protocol Development Considered Harmful"
    
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5704
    
    s/SDO/IETF WG/gc
    
    "In particular, the
       IAB considers it an essential principle of the protocol development
       process that only one SDO maintains design authority for a given
       protocol, with that SDO having ultimate authority over the allocation
       of protocol parameter code-points and over defining the intended
       semantics, interpretation, and actions associated with those code-
       points."
    
    
    SPRING are also ignoring its own charter:
    
    "SPRING WG should avoid modification to existing data planes that would
    make them incompatible with existing deployments. Where possible,
    existing control and management plane protocols must be used within
    existing architectures to implement the SPRING function."
    
    PSP is not required, there are existing functional equivalents that
    are compatible with existing deployments.
    
    (I have no affiliation with any vendors, I fight for the users.)

The ultimate segment endpoint must be SRv6-aware, because it must process the SID in the IPv6 destination address field. Given that the ultimate segment endpoint is SRv6 aware, it should be able to process the SRH on the fast path.
