Hi BESS WG, We have made further updates to our draft on using BGP as the control plane for SFC.
Apart from a few minor tweaks to wording, the main changes are: - 4.3 Clarify the scope of uniqueness of SPI - 4.5.1 New section on handling lacunae in the SI sequence - 5 Add initial paragraphs on multiple SFTs at a single hop - 7.6 Clarify bit setting rules in the SPI/SI Representation sub-TLV As previously noted, this has been cross-posted to SFC to keep them informed.
