Hi all,

Thanks a lot for the mail discussion on this document in the past month. I 
summarized the comments received so far, please let me know if I miss anything:

1. Several operators shows their interests in introducing resource 
reservation/identification capability in SR.

2. There was comments that the meaning of isolation in this draft needs to be 
further clarified.

3. There was some discussion about whether resource reservation is necessary 
comparing to Diffserv QoS with centralized resource management. The initial 
conclusion from the discussion is that both diffserv and resource reservation 
based mechanisms are tools developed by IETF to meet the customers and 
operators' requirement, and each can have its application scenarios. Operators 
can choose to use either one for specific service/customer in their network.

4. There was question about whether per-VPN state will be introduced to SR 
network, this has been clarified and the brief answer is "no".

5. There was also discussion about whether this document should be 
informational or standard track, the authors are open to the document type, and 
would like to leave this for the WG to decide during the progress of adoption.

The next step for the authors is to provide a new revision of the draft based 
on these received comments. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jie

Subject: [spring] Progressing draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn to enable 
SR with resource management

Hi all,

The latest version of draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn was uploaded in 
March, which describes a generic enhancement to SR to support resource 
representation and identification, by introducing the resource semantics to SR 
SIDs. With such enhancement, SR could be used not only for explicit path 
steering, but could also be used to build resource guaranteed paths or virtual 
networks. Such SR based resource guaranteed paths or virtual networks can be 
used as the underlay to support different VPN services. The mechanism 
introduced in this document is complementary to the existing SR 
functionalities, and helps to complete the tool set of segment routing.

Based on the discussion on mail list and the presentations on previous IETF 
meetings, this draft has been revised several times, all the comments received 
so far has been resolved and reflected in the current version. To move forward, 
the authors would like to know if there are further comments on this document, 
and people's opinion on whether it is in the right direction.

Comments and feedbacks are welcome.

Best regards,
Jie
