Hi Matthew and all, I read the draft and personally support its publication. Here are some comments:1) Introduction part has the following statement: "Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] is a popular protocol mechanism for use within a DC...". I would love to see SR as popular mechanism within DC worldwide, but such statement requires either a reference to some cases/examples of SR-baced DCs or, IMO, has to be changed to something like "...become a popular mechanism..."
2) Fig 1, IMO, needs additional information about which AS/ ASes are used for Ingress and Egress SR Domains (Guess AS1 and AS2 respectively, but it has to be shown). Current version looks a bit confusing, for example, why we need AS3 on Fig.1? 3) If new Tunnel Encapsulation is defined as SR Tunnel, will ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps be updated accordingly? 15th version does not have it so far.. 4) Part 3. SR Domain GW Auto-Discovery says: " Each GW is configured with an identifier for the SR domain."What is this identifier? I was not able to see its definition/reference or missed it. 5) May be it would be good to explicitly mention in Part 3 that it is a BGP based AD? 6) I would also swap the order of Part 4 and 5 (make Part 5 as Part 4 and vice versa), because, IMO, the definition of how we will assign and transfer the SID for those GWs for prefix X is much more important than usage of BGP-EPE in this scenario. 7) Sorry, i didn't get the idea of the last paragraph in existing Part 5: "Alternatively, if the GWs for a given SR domain are configured to allow remote GWs to perform SR TE through that SR domain for a prefix X, then each GW computes an SR TE path through that SR domain to X from each of the currently active GWs, and places each in an MPLS label stack sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps] in the SR tunnel instance for that GW."Could you pls consider to re-phrase it in more simple manner? 8) Would you consider the case when we could have different SR domains, i.e.., SR-MPLS and SRv6? Thank you.
