Why would SR6 be better than any other "underlay" encapsulation here,
like MPLS or SR-MPLS? Naively put this seems to trade 4 byte per label with a
full 40 byte IPv6 header plus 8 bytes plus 16 bytes per "label". Asking out of
genuine curiosity what are those additional bytes in overhead actually buying
(except the freedom from MPLS).
