Darren,

I understand that the PSP operation:

  *   Is executed on the penultimate segment endpoint only
  *   Is signaled by the source node using bits in the IPv6 destination address
However, those facts are orthogonal to the question that I asked. So, I will 
try to ask my question again. Please read it carefully and answer the question 
that is asked. (Dismissive responses will only make me grumpier.)

Currently, there is no consensus that IPv6 allows insertion of extension 
headers by intermediate nodes, even if those intermediate nodes are segment 
endpoints . Given this lack of consensus, the authors of network programming 
have wisely agreed to remove header insertion from the draft.

Likewise, there is no consensus that IPv6 allows removal of extension headers 
by intermediate nodes, even if those intermediate nodes are segment endpoints. 
Why, then, have the authors of network programming not agreed to remove PSP 
from the draft?

                                                                                
           Ron

Hello Ron, I believe this is the fifth time you have raised this comment in 
6man and/or spring.
The comment has been addressed in earlier iterations.

Let me recap.

With the PSP behavior, the SRH is only removed by the node identified in the 
destination address field of the IPv6 header.

That destination address was placed in the SRH by the SR Source node, fully 
expecting the behavior.

Thanks
  Darren

Pablo,

It seems to me that the following are equally controversial:


  *   A transit node inserting a Routing header
  *   A transit node removing a Routing header

We have agreed to move discussion of RH insertion out of the Network 
Programming draft and into another draft. Shouldn't discussion of RH removal be 
treated similarly.

This comment applies to Penultimate Segment Popping (PHP) in the Network 
Programming draft.
