[spring] Re: Request for MORE reviews of draft-ietf-spring-srv6-path-segment-09

Hi Cheng,
Some comments after reading v-09.

Section 3
To identify an SRv6 path, this document defines a new segment called SRv6 Path Segment. An SRv6 Path Segment will not be used for routing so it should not be copied to the IPv6 destination address.
[Yao]The word "will" is kind of ambiguous, is it a "SHOULD" / "MUST"?

Section 5
A Path Segment is a local segment allocated by an egress node. A Path Segment can be allocated through several ways, such as CLI, BGP [I-D.ietf-idr-sr-policy-path-segment], PCEP [I-D.ietf-pce-sr-path-segment] or other ways.
[Yao] Besides allocating the path segment by the egress, from my reading of draft-ietf-pce-sr-path-segment section 5.2.2.1 , path segment can also be allocate by the controller. And as described in section 3.1, besides as the local segment, the path segment can be a Global ID. So "A Path Segment is a local segment allocated by an egress node." is not accurate.

Section 6
When an SRv6 Path Segment is inserted, the SL MUST be initiated to be less than the value of Last Entry, and will not point to SRv6 Path Segment. 
[Yao] Is the SRv6 Path Segment MUST be inserted by the headend node of an SR policy? It would be helpful to add some rules/recommendations on inserting the path segment.

Thanks,
Yao

Hi SPRING,
 
The SR-MPLS Path Segment draft has been published as RFC9545, and we think the content of SRv6 Path Segment draft is quite stable and mature, so we hope to see more tech reviews on it so that we can move the draft forward.
 
The draft is quite simple and straightforward, and it defines a new type of segment called Path Segment, which is useful to identify an SRv6 path, similar to SR-MPLS path segment.  
The draft only defines the location that the SRv6 Path Segment should appear, the possible general formats of it, and the general handling of Path Segment. How to allocate the value to a Path Segment is out of the scope of this draft and should be defined as per use cases.
An SRv6 Path Segment will not be used for routing so it should not be copied to the IPv6 destination address.
 
Many thanks for Adrian, Stefano and Zafar for their useful comments and help on this draft. More reviews and comments are welcome!
 
Thanks,
Cheng

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-spring-srv6-path-segment-09.txt is now available. It is a work item of the Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) WG of the IETF.
 
   Title:   Path Segment for SRv6 (Segment Routing in IPv6)

Abstract:
 
   Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end
   paths by encoding an ordered list of instructions, called "segments".
   The SR architecture can be implemented over an MPLS data plane as
   well as an IPv6 data plane.
 
   Currently, Path Segment has been defined to identify an SR path in
   SR-MPLS networks, and is used for various use-cases such as end-to-
   end SR Path Protection and Performance Measurement (PM) of an SR
   path.  This document defines the Path Segment to identify an SRv6
   path in an IPv6 network.
