Hi Nick,

Can you enumerate what you find interesting in it ?

For me the fundamental drawback of MPLS or SR-MPLS is requirement mapping.
CRH falls in the same bucket - requires yet one more mapping abstraction.

I have proven with the referenced IP-TE + NP document that you can do path
engineering without any mapping. In fact even without any change to IPv6
protocol.

So what are those technical merits - 16 or 32 bit SIDs ? One size fit all
again ? What is the delta against SR-MPLS technically speaking ? Note that
nothing prevents you to run MPLS over IP if that is the issue.

Best,
R.
