Hi Greg, Please see [ZA] in-line.
Thanks Regards … Zafar From: ipv6 <ipv6-boun...@ietf.org> on behalf of Greg Mirsky <gregimir...@gmail.com> Date: Friday, February 28, 2020 at 11:45 AM To: Robert Raszuk <rob...@raszuk.net> Cc: John Scudder <jgs=40juniper....@dmarc.ietf.org>, SPRING WG <spring@ietf.org>, 6man WG <i...@ietf.org> Subject: Re: [spring] I-D Action: draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming-10.txt Hi Robert, thank you for you consideration. Pablo and I had discussed references to OAM in the SRv6 network programming draft. Pablo and authors kindly agreed to remove all references to OAM and draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam. As we are discussing the network programming draft, draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam is in WGLC at 6man. My intention was to work with the authors of SRv6 OAM draft on documenting its relationship with PSP. Would that make sense? [ZA] Agreed!

Moreover I would suggest to add such text that PSP endpoint behaviours should or must not be set for any OEM packets. Would that help ? Thx, R.

I think that for OAM PSP has decremental effect on the usefulness of performance measurements as there's no obvious information to identify the path a packet traversed.

While your observation is correct that most TCP connections are bidir SR in a lot of cases can operate only in one direction. Needless to say it can also be used with UDP streaming. To extend Ketan's OTT video example let me observe that in a lot of transactions queries from clients are tiny and do not TE capabilities while responses are huge and bursty and may indeed benefit from special handling. Sure if you think of applications like VPNs than you are right .. regardless of the size of the packets proper tagging must occur in either direction - but this is just one use of SRv6 perhaps not even the major one. - - - Now as one friend just asked me offline - putting all IPv6 dogmas aside - what is the technical issue with removing previously applied extension header from the packet within a given operator's network ? What breaks when you do that ? Thx, R.

Almost all communication is bidirectional. Presumably this means a router that’s the tail end of an SRv6 path in one direction is the head end in the other. Doesn’t a head end need to add an SRH? If I’ve gotten that right, then we can extend Ron’s list with one more item. That is, apparently the ultimate segment endpoint: • Can process a SID, received as an IPv6 DA, on the fast path • Cannot process an SRH on receipt, even if Segments Left equal 0, on the fast path. • Can add an SRH on transmission, on the fast path Even though strictly speaking the second and third bullet points aren’t mutually exclusive, it’s a little difficult to imagine a real router that would have both these properties simultaneously. Perhaps I’m not being creative enough in imagining deployment scenarios? Since this scenario is claimed as an important reason this problematic feature is needed, it would be great if someone who understands it would elucidate, thanks. One further point, Ron says “I wonder whether it is a good idea to stretch the IPv6 standard to accommodate IPv6-challenged devices.” I also wonder this, especially because these devices will have a relatively limited lifetime in the network.[*] I don’t find the cost/benefit attractive of making a permanent detrimental change to the IPv6 architecture to accommodate a temporary deployment issue.
