Hi Zafar,
Thanks for your response. In my opinion, the SRv6 compatible with firewall is orthogonal with the ICMP handling. The source SRv6 node will receive ICMP (not encaped by SRv6 header) if the TTL gets expired in the network. There are 2 relevant cases in my head. * Case1: trace route from CE in uniform mode. I did not give proposal. * Case2: Srv6 ping on PE. I gave proposal using VPN SID. If you want have some proposals in the draft. I would say there are 2 existing proposals regarding ICMP handling. Proposal 1 is P node set the VPN SID as ICMP destination address (draft-varhal-6man-icmp-srv6-vpn). Proposal 2 is MPLS style, which forwarding to egress PE(draft-ali-6man-srv6-vpn-icmp-error-handling). Since my draft is to address the firewall issue, I would say handling of ICMP should consider firewall case. To be more clear, the expected ICMP address pair would be a pair of VPN SID. Thus it will not only matter of ingress node, but will also relevant with P and egress PE.

You need to explain how the source node processes the ICMP error if it receives it from the network. You cannot exclude ICMP error handling from your proposal. Hope it helps.

You mentioned the CE-CE ICMP issue with uniform mode in provider network, and there are some proposals in 6man. Here comes my proposal: I would exclude that scenario in the scope of “draft-yang-spring-sid-as-source-address”. Will that be an acceptable solution for you?
