Hi Rishabh,

Thanks. Adding where in the processing logic TLVs are processed (if locally 
configured) I think is a worthwhile update.

Jim

Jim,
Thanks for diligently catching the typos in the document :) Will fix them in 
the next revision.

As for SRH TLVs, they can be processed at Replication Node, if allowed by local 
configuration, before an incoming packet is replicated. I see RFC 8754 Section 
4.3.1.1 SRH processing pseudo-code does not explicitly mention SRH TLV 
processing, but we can add to SRv6 End.Replication pseudo-code if you think it 
is necessary.

Thanks,
-Rishabh

Hi Rishabh,

Thank you for the new version. A few nits/comments:


  *   Text in the abstract currently says "A SR Replication segment allows a 
packet to be replicated from a Replication Node to Downstream nodes".

     *   Perhaps change to -> ""A SR Replication segment allows a packet to be 
replicated from a Replication Node to one or more Downstream nodes".

  *   Couple of typos in the Introduction:
  *      Replication segment is a new type of segment for Segment Routing 
[RFC8402], which allows a node (henceforth called as Replication

     *   [Jim] r/as/a

  *   A Replication segment can replicate packet to directly connected nodes or 
to downstream nodes

     *   [Jim] r/packet/packets

  *   Section 2.2.1

     *   [Jim] I do not see any mention of TLV processing. If local 
configuration requires TLV processing where in the pseudo code does this fit? 
Are there circumstances where TLV processing is prohibited if using a 
Replication SID? Please add this.

  *   Section 2.2.1

     *   *  The behavior above MAY result in a packet with partially processed 
segment list in SRH under some circumstances

        *   [Jim] It would be helpful to provide an example of such a 
circumstance here.

  *   Section 2.2.2

     *   the Leaf/Bud bud node which responds with an ICMPv6 Echo

        *   [Jim] remove "bud" typo

Thanks!

Jim

We have published revision 12 of the draft. Main changes include:
- Pseudo-code for SRv6 End.Replicate
- Description and example of ping to a Replication SID
- Changes to text to address comments from Bruno, Jim and Joel

Please review.

Thanks,

Jim,
The text you refer to in Section 2.1 and .2.2 has changed after addressing 
comments since the last revision, but we will try to incorporate the suggested 
change.

Thanks,

Hi Rishabh & authors,

To close out this discussion, in sections 2.1 and 2.2 we have:
There MAY be SIDs after the Replication SID in the segment list of a packet. 
These SIDs are used to provide additional context for processing a packet 
locally at the node where the Replication SID is the Active Segment. The 
processing of SIDs following the Replication SID MUST NOT forward the SR-MPLS 
packet to another node.

The chairs believe it would be helpful to add a sentence to clarity the scope 
and offer the following text "Coordination regarding the absence or presence 
and value of context information for replication leaves is outside the scope of 
this document.".

Thanks!

Jim, Joel & Bruno

Hi Jingrong & document authors,

I would like for now to leave aside the issue of whether or not application/VPN 
specifics should be outside the scope of this SPRING document (I will however 
be revisiting this point in subsequent emails) and focus on bringing closure to 
the technical comments detailed in 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/_1sSZCfCZWlHwXvYpfOtDZZ9M3g/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailarchive.ietf.org%2Farch%2Fmsg%2Fspring%2F_1sSZCfCZWlHwXvYpfOtDZZ9M3g%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjames.n.guichard%40futurewei.com%7Cec7c7bfd25414bf59a2608db19d57c6b%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C638132176954671077%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=UA2ybryYZzAO3sRzkNu4QijmMM8IX4ZgDSWLig6ajfk%3D&reserved=0>.

As I read through your comments Jingrong I think I can summarize your objection 
to be that you believe the proposal breaks the SRv6 architecture as the 
forwarding relies upon local state rather than state carried within the SRH. Do 
I have that right? If this is the case then you need to be specific in terms of 
which text/sentences in the document are in conflict with which text/sentences 
of existing RFCs. As written I think Rishabh's forwarding example is accurate 
as he describes a lookup on the Replication SID and the action is to either 
update the outer IPv6 address with the downstream nodes address, or 
re-encapsulate the packet with a new IPv6 header and SRH. I might draw your 
attention to  
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8754.html#name-fib-entry-is-a-locally-inst<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Frfc%2Frfc8754.html%23name-fib-entry-is-a-locally-inst&data=05%7C01%7Cjames.n.guichard%40futurewei.com%7Cec7c7bfd25414bf59a2608db19d57c6b%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C638132176954827289%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CAnVac8VQPxeUl7RzXCacXTZQMCdd3LDcRFsWl%2BAu3M%3D&reserved=0>
 which talks about the definition of future SIDs and their behaviors.

Further your comments appear to me to suggest that the VPN identification 
encapsulated at PE1 acts like a normal VPN SID in the sense that forwarding is 
based upon that IPv6 address. I don't think that is the intent here; I think 
the SID is used as an identifier for the VPN itself so that the downstream 
nodes are given the correct VPN forwarding context i.e. they are not supposed 
to use that SID to forward the packets back to PE1. Perhaps the authors could 
clarify this point further?

Hi Rishabh, it would be helpful if you could review the comments in 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/_1sSZCfCZWlHwXvYpfOtDZZ9M3g/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailarchive.ietf.org%2Farch%2Fmsg%2Fspring%2F_1sSZCfCZWlHwXvYpfOtDZZ9M3g%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjames.n.guichard%40futurewei.com%7Cec7c7bfd25414bf59a2608db19d57c6b%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C638132176954827289%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yPkmHH%2FEz8yKMOmQw9N1LkvaEWxZrmwRPAUp6ovG03Y%3D&reserved=0>
 again and perhaps provide more clarity on the expected behavior as there seems 
to be a difference in understanding of the actual operation.

[RP] Exactly, the only purpose of VPN SID is to provide a VPN context at 
Leaf/Bud nodes to forward the inner packet (encapsulated at ingress PE).  I 
have removed most of the text related to VPN (in yet unpublished next revision) 
based on Bruno's earlier, but this has been explained earlier in the thread.
