there are a number of Internet Drafts describing a range of ways of using SFC NSH with MPLS. The same choices appear to be available with CRH. If folks are interested, once CRH progresses, it should be a simple task to document that.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your reply.

Regarding NSH, are you saying to use CRH as a tunnel transport encapsulation between two SFF nodes?

Or we can use a single CRH for steering packet through all the SFF nodes that the NSH packet should visit?

Regarding using the first DOH, how to do that without the container design by your draft[1]?

Or the same option TLV will bind to different behaviors on different nodes according to the node local configuration?

Best,

Cheng

Cheng,

The sole purpose of a Routing header is to steer a packet along a specified path to its destination. It shouldn’t attempt to do any more than that.

The CRH does not attempt to deliver service function information to service function instances. However, it is compatible with:

-The Network Service Header (NSH)

-The Destination Options header that precedes the Routing header

Both of these can be used to deliver service function information to service function instances.

*[External Email. Be cautious of content]*

Hi Ron,

When reading the CRH draft, I have a question about how CRH support SFC?

For example, we have a SID List [S1, S2, S3, S4, S5], and S3 is a SFC related SID, how to indicate that? By PSSI? [1]

But how to know which segment endpoint node/egress node should process this PSSI? At the beginning of the SRm6 design, this is described in [2]. But you deleted the containers [2].

Without that, I don’t really understand how SFC can be supported.

Best,

Cheng
