Hi Bruno,

I agree that the draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy [1] is the right 
place to normatively define the different segment types and perhaps would have 
been the right document to create an IANA registry for them.

I also agree that the draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy [2] has a 
discrepancy between its IANA section 8.4 for the Segment-List sub-TLV space and 
section 2.4.3.2 (and it's sub-sections) where the different Segment Types have 
been defined. I will request the authors of this draft to fix the text in 
section 2.4.3.2 (and it's sub-sections) for the types 8 and above to adjust for 
the codepoint 9 allocated for the weight sub-TLV.

At this point, given the implementations available and already deployed for 
[2], I doubt if we can correct and map the segment types in that draft to what 
has been defined in [1].

There is also the 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-te-lsp-distribution-11#section-9.7 
which creates the Segment Types IANA registry (aligned with [1]).

[Bruno] This IANA registry seems BGP-LS specific. (sub-registry under "Border 
Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters")
On a side note,

Ø  "The registry contains the following codepoints (suggested values, to be 
assigned by IANA)"
Since you define a new registry, you can populate initial allocations at your 
own will. IOW :s/(suggested values, to be assigned by IANA)"/



And then I am not sure if draft-raza-spring-sr-policy-yang is able to 
benefit/leverage the IANA registry from [1].

So unless we can have the IANA registry created via [1] being consistently used 
in all dependent documents, I do not see much gain in setting up the Segment 
Type registry under IANA at this point.
[Bruno] Make sense, but brings three clarification questions:
Is there a need for draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy to define numbers 
for the segment types (or is the name enough)?
  If yes, do we need such numbers of be unique (avoid collisions)?
     If yes, how do you propose to avoid code point collisions in the future? 
(Or do you assume that there won't be future ones?)

Thanks,
Bruno




Thanks,
Ketan

Hi authors,

Speaking as individual contributor.

This document seems to define multiple types of segments (1 to 11).
May be this document would be the right place to define them normatively and 
creates the IANA registry for them. And this seems like a work for spring.
Otherwise, there is a risk that other documents redefine them, possibly in a 
non-consistent manner. (1) E.g.  the BGP draft is not using the same type 
numbers/name, which may bring confusion. I would expect YANG models to also 
need these types.
BTW is there any chance to align the types in the BGP document or is this too 
late? (alternatively may be changing the types in the sr-policy document)

Thanks,
Regards,
Bruno
