Something else (e.g., a controller) may decide the path (e.g., SID list for SR Policy) but the Service/VPN context is signaled via BGP from egress to ingress PE. > > Ignoring the issue of argument manipulation, if the Ingress PE is > deciding on its own, doesn't it have to understand the meaning of the > behavior in order to decide that it wants to invoke it? > KT> The ingress PE is not invoking anything and hence it doesn't need to understand the meaning of the behavior (with some exceptions like when it needs to supply the argument). Ingress PE is simply setting the received SRv6 Service SID as the IPv6 DA in the outer encapsulation (let's keep aside SR Policy for now). When this packet reaches the egress PE, it ends up invoking the behavior corresponding to the locally instantiated SRv6 SID on the egress PE. As an analogy - whether the label signaled by the egres PE is per-VRF or per-CE does not affect the processing at ingress PE. > If something else provides the SID list and the rules for which traffic > should use it (e.g. the SR policy or similar) then the Ingress PE would > not seem to need such understanding. > KT> The situation is the same even in this case.
