Hi, It seems that the draft is about using data-plane mac learning in an EVPN-like solution. That retains other properties of EVPN, but removes the need for advertising MAC addresses, with the consequences/problems that Ali was trying to point out.
Leaving the pros and cons of data plane mac learning out, I want to point out that the idea is actually orthogonal with SR - even if SR were not invented this concept still applies. With VXLAN the source address corresponds to the "source node SID", and with MPLS the "PE Distinguisher Label" in MVPN (and extended to other use cases) serves the same purpose. That same "PE Distinguisher Label" concept is also used in my Generic Fragmentation proposal. With that, the discussion for this draft should be in BESS, not in SPRING.
