I was more considering the case that the information is simply not propagated into the “downstream” area. There is no clear requirement to me that we need propagate capabilities and/or prefix SIDs for non-endpoint nodes across area boundaries, and hence we may not have visibility of each mid-point on the path. [Xiaohu] If we need visibility of each mid-point on the path indeed, does it mean that the capability of each mid-point should be propagated across area boundaries?
