Hi Brian & all, Last email from me on this topic as I am pretty sure this will otherwise never end.
I am not sure anyone will hardly argue that SRv6 is IPv6 or not. Maybe it is IPv6+ fully backwards compatible with IPv6. What really matters to me is that SRv6 packets can be forwarded by not SR aware IPv6 network elements with no change to data plane and control plane required. That's it - no more - no less. And so far all SPRING work on SRv6 including the draft in the subject line of this mail meets that.
