H Joel,
Can you reference the specific section in the IS-IS SRv6 draft you are
commenting on? I seem to remember this discussion but it was at least a month
back, if not more.
Thanks,
Acee

The announcement prompted me to look again and think about an
interaction between this and the network programming draft. To be
clear, I am NOT objecting to either this or the network programming
draft. I am just wondering what I am missing.
The NP draft, and the advertisement mechanism allows a router to
advertise the number of bits for the ARG portion of a SID.
Q1: The point presumably is to avoid needing to advertise each of the
individual values?
An example of this is, I think, and ARG for the table selection where
the ARG is the table number for the packet to be looked up in?
Q2: If so, how does the head end know what table number corresponds to
what meaning? If this requires a separate advertisement there seems
to be no savings. if this requires out-of-band knowledge then we seem
to have lost the benefit of advertising all of this in the routing protocol.
I suspect I am simply missing a piece. can someone explain please?
Thank you,
Joel
