Linda, We are not converging, please read the draft.
Note - SRinUDP doesn’t require device that imposes the SIDs to the device that encapsulates it in IP/UDP, neither should it be directly connected. SR allows you to encode the desired path in data plane, either directly, by imposing 1 or more SID’s, where the bottom one if the destination, or by encoding meta-data in a Binding SID, when BSID gets lookup up by the anchor node (device that own the BSID) - SR Edge in your case, it would expand BSID into a full path or a combination of BSID’s and NSIDs (AKA segmented path). In your case specifically and in a most simple way - SDWAN edge would be programmed to impose a SID stack that is: dest->BSID (desired SR path - could have another level(s) of indirections)->SR edge. As per draft-ietf-mpls-sr-over-ip - IP/UDP header would be imposed with DIP of SR edge (that is also the anchor for BSID) and DPORT set to 6635 (RFC7510), there are also other ways to resolve desired SR path on demand (BGP, PCEP, etc). Note you need co-operation between WAN (SR) controller and SDWAN controller. There’s absolutely no need to (ab)using GRE/VxLAN header bits. Please let me know if anything is still unclear, we could also meet in Montreal.
