I support publication of this draft. I see a lot of value for operators with this draft encoding of the path into a path segment for end to end 1+1 path protection and PM and path correlation and bidirectional path instantiation for mobile backhaul. In section 4 it talks about nesting of path seg

Hi Stewart, Many thanks for your comments. Yes, we can add some text about the RX packet counters using the path segment. As RX packet counts for incoming labels are typically supported by most existing implementations, it is a natural choice. Other schemes e.g. using metadata after BOS of MPLS lab

Hi Rakesh I can see why you would want to use a label in that application, but using a label has a cost that should be more thoroughly discussed in the text and compared to alternatives. What I see in the text is a reference to alt-marking, how are you proposing to provide the alt pair? Thank

Speaking as a WG chair from another WG: If you followed the SPRING debate preceding the formation of the DT, it was obvious that allowing open membership to the DT would not have been feasible given the number of people participating and the combative tone of the discussion. I think the chairs

Hi Robert, In short the answer to your question is no. The chairs tried to create an inclusive DT that had representation from all sides of the compression debate. In addition the chairs deliberately stepped back and did not interfere in the DT work. Jim, Joel & Bruno From: spring On Behalf

Hi Stewart, The SR-MPLS path segment (MPLS label) is used to count received packets on a particular path on the egress node. This allows us to measure PM packet loss on a given path. The (incoming) MPLS label as path segment has an advantage of using existing implementations for RX packet count.

Hi Greg In -TP there were cases where we needed to send an OOB reply and we did this by putting the IP address of the return node in the outgoing message. My concern here is that just because this is an MPLS design, and you can use a label as a proxy for an identifier does not mean that it is t
