Hi, We submitted a draft about IPv6 source address programming. It raises some requirements to carry some information through the source address. It may be more hardware-friendly than IPv6 Extension Headers. We submitted this draft to the 6MAN Working Group, but some considerations may be relevant to SRv6, so we would like to invite experts from the SPRING Working Group to review it.
The current version only raised the basic considerations about the IPv6 source address programming. Comments are welcome. B.R.

Name: draft-cheng-6man-source-address-programmability Revision: 00 Title: Source IPv6 Address Programmability Document date: 2023-03-07 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 10 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-cheng-6man-source-address-programmability-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cheng-6man-source-address-programmability/ Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-cheng-6man-source-address-programmability Abstract: IPv6-based tunneling technologies, such as SRv6, have been deployed by provider on transport networks to provide users with services such as VPN and SD-WAN. After the service traffic enters the provider's transport network, it will be encapsulated by tunnel (SRv6 encapsulation). In order to better meet the SLA requirements of users, some technologies need to carry relevant information along with the flow to guide the processing of packets during forwarding. This document discusses the programmability of IPv6 source addresses to carry the necessary flow information The IETF Secretariat _______________________________________________ spring mailing list spring@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/spring
