Esteemed WG chairs -

What is the conclusion of the WG adoption call for 
draft-ginsberg-lsr-flex-soft-dataplane ??

We are long past the intended deadline.

I note that multiple people expressed support for adoption.
And a couple were even authors 😎

One person expressed concern about the document - which we tried to address 
when we published V2 of the draft on August 28, 2025.
That was me and I still don't see why the use case couldn't be satisfied with a 
constrained flex-algo in the multicast IP topology.

Flex-algo is tight with the data-plane that is used to forward the traffic over the FA paths - e.g., to be able to compute FA paths, routers need to participate in one of the supported data-planes   - SR-MPLS, SRv6 or IP flex-algo.

The requirement here is to detach the flex-algo from any specific data-plane - application just needs the FA paths on top of regular IP topology and it will setup its own data-plane for forwarding over them.

thanks,
Peter




Please let us know next steps.
Nevertheless, we'll move forward with LSR WG adoption.

Thanks,
Acee


Thanx.
