Dear authors

Can you describe in more detail the relationship and interaction between
the two SR P2MP variants below:

Defines new SAFI for SR P2MP variant
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-hb-idr-sr-p2mp-policy-04

Does this draft utilize all the drafts below Tree sid / Replication sid and
SR P2MP MVPN procedures for auto discovery etc.


Defines Tree SID stitching of replication SID SR policy P2MP variant
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-voyer-pim-sr-p2mp-policy-00

Replication SID
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-spring-sr-replication-segment

Defines new SR P2MP PTA using MVPN procedures
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-evpn-sr-p2mp


Kind Regards

Gyan
