Brian, The PSP pseudocode is presented as a modification to the End pseudocode starting at line S14 of such. Please go through the PSP pseudocode in conjunction with the End pseudocode (Section 4.1). You will see that the ingress state of the packet is (Segments Left == 1 and Destination Address == the PSP node's address).
Many thanks, Pablo. -----Original Message----- From: ipv6 <ipv6-boun...@ietf.org> on behalf of Brian E Carpenter <brian.e.carpen...@gmail.com> Date: Monday, 2 March 2020 at 20:34 To: "Darren Dukes (ddukes)" <ddukes=40cisco....@dmarc.ietf.org>, 6man WG <i...@ietf.org>, SPRING WG List <spring@ietf.org> Subject: Re: PSP and a logical application of RFC8200 Darren, Regardless of whether you accept Fernando's comment about the intention of RFC 8200, there is also the fact that the description of the PSP flavor cheats by considering the packet to have (Segments Left == 0 and Destination Address == the PSP node's address). In fact that is *never* the state of the packet on the wire, which is either (Segments Left == 1 and Destination Address == the PSP node's address) or (Segments Left == 0 and Destination Address == the final node's address) OK, maybe it's not cheating, maybe it's only a side effect of the pseudocode, but the fact is that the test "S14.1. If (Segments Left == 0) {" in section 4.16.1 is very confusing because it's applied to a packet that is half way through processing of the routing header (Segments Left has been updated, but Destination Address has not been updated). This makes it very unclear how the spec is claiming to interpret RFC 8200.
