[spring] Fw:New Version Notification fordraft-gong-spring-nd-advertise-srv6-locator-04.txt

[Liyan Gong <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,





We are sharing an updated version of draft-gong-spring-nd-advertise-srv6-locator(revision-04) for your review and feedback.


This document proposes a method for SRv6 endpoints(e.g., hosts or CPEs) to advertise their SRv6 locators to a neighboring router using IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) extensions.


This approach aims to simplify deployment in controlled scenarios where endpoints do not run traditional routing protocols.


This draft was previously presented at IETF 122 in the SPRING WG. Based on the valuable feedback received, we have revised the document with substantial clarifications and enhancements.


Key updates in version -04 include:


1. Enhanced motivation and applicability section, clarifying use cases such as SRv6 on hosts in data centers and static CPE deployments.


2. Explicit trust boundary and security guidance, emphasizing that the mechanism is designed for single administrative domains and is NOT RECOMMENDED for untrusted environments.


3. Scalability consideration: Added text suggesting that access routers may aggregate fine-grained locators before advertising to the core.


4. Structural improvements: Reorganized sections for better readability (e.g., separating Motivation and Process).


5. Editorial refinements throughout the text for clarity and alignment with RFC language conventions.


Following the suggestion from the meeting, we are also sending this update to the SPRING, RTGWG, and 6MAN mailing lists. 


We welcome your comments on any aspect of the draft.Thank you for your time and consideration.


Best regards,


Liyan
