Hi Zafar, I think I am also missing something here. Let me ask few questions
Q1 - I am talking describing the case of in-situ Node A to Node B unidirection telemetry stream where assume nodes A & B are within given administrative domain. How would B know that SRH was removed somewhere in the middle ? Note - node A is never part of any reception of the probe packets. Q2 - Basic ping - Let's assume that src A is a host outside of SP and that it wants to run ping or traceroute through the domain or even further. As ingress node encapsulates the packets (hopefully this will be configured such ICMP gets the same encap as TCP or UDP) how nodes within SR path till the very end of the path will be able to send responses back A ? Do you count on ingress node (encapsulation src address) doing the proxy NAT function in the slow path ? Or is the assumption here that SRv6 does not propagate TTL and what happens within the domain is invisible for the external party ? Thx, R.
