Hi Salih, The preference for steering over SR Policy applies to both SR-MPLS and SRv6. So we are covered from that perspective.
I get the impression that this email discussion thread about “fallback” is about when sending over a non-SR Policy based steering mechanism. That too, I get the impression is that it is specifically about the scenario where there might not be a reachability via IGP FlexAlgo for the egress PE’s Locator from which the SRv6 service SID is allocated from. To me (and few other WG members), an alternate path or tunnel mechanism to reach the egress PE is something that is deployment specific and can be implemented via various mechanisms. While Shraddha has proposed a mechanism for this, I’ve also described a new other ways – there will be more. While the draft currently does not discuss this, it does not preclude any of these mechanisms either. The draft is currently done with WGLC and is in our AD (Martin’s) Q for his review. The question for the WG is if we do really need to clarify something about this “FlexAlgo fallback” case and if so, come up with some proposed text. IMHO details of such fallback mechanisms are outside the scope of this document and we can say so if that helps.

This indicates a preference for steering over SR Policy while using color extended community. Then specify color only bits etc modes for specifying fallbacks if required. Currently it doesn’t talk about flex (but mention mostly IGP path to the next-hop N) and hence it need not necessarily pick SRv6 flex algo paths. Are we suggesting only if some indication comes the fallback will happen to flex algo? OR can we define an order like: SRv6 policy (using BGP NH) SRv6 Flex (using SRv6 Service SID) and a mention of local policy which can override if required.

Now for the ingress, how to decide whether to resolve over SRv6 Service SID (to choose flex algo) OR over BGP Protocol next hop (to choose SRTE)? In a domain both can be present & operators may want fallbacks as well if one is not available. So, I think it’s better to clarify that to avoid ambiguity.

However, some of my co-authors and other WG members have already clarified this point. Let me try to summarize. The draft covers two SRv6 based mechanisms for the transport of services between SRv6 PEs. (1) using SR Policy based steering (i.e. for service routes with Color Extended Communities) using the H.encap construct along with a list of SRv6 segments and the other (2) using H.encap with just the SRv6 Service SID in the IPv6 DA. As mentioned in the draft, it is required to verify the reachability of the SRv6 Service SID before the mechanism (2) can be used. This is an explicit clarification for verification of reachability. In an MPLS-VPN scenario, if the egress PE NH’s IP route is reachable at the ingress PE but without an MPLS label, such a path cannot be used. This is semantically similar. The mechanism (1) is different since the routing to the egress PE is via SR Policy and hence the requirement for verification of reachability of the SRv6 Service SID is not there. There is no mandate for the setting of the NH since that is left to deployment design. I hope this helps in addition to the various clarifications already provided by others.

Be cautious of content] Hi All, As per this draft, this is how resolution must work. 1)For Non Intent service Route: if BGP next hop is not reachable return. Resolve SRv6 Service SID for forwarding. 2)For Intent service Route (IGP Flex-Algo first then BGP CAR then SR Policy): BGP next hop is not reachable return. Resolve SRv6 Service SID for forwarding(To find IGP flex algo).if successfully resolves then return. Resolve BGP next hop for forwarding (in case above is not success). Using Service SID (overlay),for resolution is definitely not recommended. Instead in case of srv6, we always resolve on BGP nexthop. This will be in line with BGP legacy. In case of best effort/flex algo we must mandate user to set corresponding locator as BGP nexthop for srv6 routes. I think this is a reasonable mandate. Thanks Rajesh Juniper Business Use Only
