Hi Peter,
Using flex-algo, a SRv6 locator can be associated with a single algo, which means an IPv6 or IPv4 address can also be associated with a single algo. So my understanding is Ron's proposal is making the configuration of flex-algo easier?
no.
Instead of using the exclude or include list you can configure a loopback
address to a flex-algo directly?
above has been done for SRv6 locators already. Now you can make that
association for regular ipv4 and ipv6 prefixes.
thanks,
Peter
Thanks,
Yingzhen

install it into the routing table. It seems to me that using flex-algo (section 12
of the draft) it's possible to have a loopback address associated with only one
algo, please correct me if I'm missing or misunderstood something.
you are right. That is exactly what is being done for flex-algo with
SRv6 - locator is associated with a single algo only. The proposal uses
the same concept.
