Peter,

There seem to be two disconnects in this discussion.

1) The response below implies that the encodings in draft-ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions are supposed represent the case where the locators are allocated from several different IPv6 address blocks (for example, blocks S1/s1 through Sn/sn). However, draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming and draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header only discuss the case where the locators are allocated from a single block (S/s).  If an implementation is expected to properly encode the case where locators are allocated from several different IPv6 address blocks, then I think that case should be explicitly described in these documents.


There is no statement in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming that the block is unique. As an example, Iliad authorized me to indicate that their SRv6 deployment involves several blocks.



2)   The response below says "To be able to find out where the func and arg are located, you need to know the LOC length, e.g. Block and Node length."  However, the SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV is carried within the SRv6 End SID, SRv6 End.X SID, and the SRv6 LAN End.X SID Sub-TLVs, which are carried within the SRv6 Locator TLV.

not really. SRv6 End.X SID, and the SRv6 LAN End.X SID Sub-TLVs are advertised in the IS Reachability TLVs (22, 23, 222, 223, 141), not in SRv6 Locator TLV.

thanks,
Peter


The  SRv6 Locator TLV has a Loc-Size field.  Why would the value of the LOC length computed as the sum of the Block and Node length ever be different from the value in the Loc-Size field?

    I'm not sure what do you mean by not "well defined". For every SID you
    need to know the LOC (B+N) part. If you guarantee that it is the
    same on
    all nodes, you know it from the local config, otherwise, you advertise
    it with a SID.

    I'm afraid you are missing an important point.

    SRv6 SID is defined as LOC:FUNCT:ARG, where LOC is represented as B:N.
    To be able to find out where the func and arg are located, you need to
    know the LOC length, e.g. Block and Node length. Advertising just Func
    and Arg length does not help.

    When we design the encoding, we have to define it such, that it
    supports
    all possible use cases. We can not design the encoding that works for
    single use case (allocate all locators from a single block) and does
    not
    work for others - different block from different node, multiple blocks
    on a single node (e.g. border node), which are all valid.

    there are networks, where BGP is not deployed on all nodes, only on a
    few nodes that re-distribute the information to BGP-LS. In such case we
    need the IGP to distribute this data.

    Argument that "it seems likely that the new End SID would also be
    advertised using the BGP IP/VPN/EVPN" is a wishful thinking that we can
    not based our encoding on.

    The security use case has already been pointed out earlier in this
    thread:

    
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header-26#section-5

    Given the arguments I mentioned above, I respectfully disagree with the
    removal of the SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV from the ISIS SRv6 draft.

    thanks,
    Peter
