Hi Tony, 

   Thanks for your comments. The reason why this draft is proposed is that:


   Currently, the current FA draft only defines that the algorithm identifier 
is included as part of a  Prefix-SID advertisement,that maybe not satisfy some 
scenarios where multiple algorithm share the same link resource.  


    For example, an SR-TE policy may be instantiated within specific Flex-algo 
plane, i.e.,the SID list requires to include algorithm related SIDs.  An 
algorithm-unware Adjacency-SID included in the SID list can just steer the 
packet towards the link, but can not apply different QoS policy for different 
algorithm.         


     Another example is that the TI-LFA backup path computed in Flex-algo plane 
may also contain an algorithm-unware Adjacency-SID, which maybe also used in 
other SR-TE instance that carries other service.

    This document complement that the algorithm identifier can be also  
included as part of an Adjacency-SID advertisement for SR-MPLS.






Best Regards,


Ran
