Hi folks, LSR WG,

I am trying to figure out if RFC6119 has a typo or if it was the intent. In 
RFC6119 we see the following procedure:

"There MUST NOT be more than one IPv6 SRLG TLV for a given link."
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6119#section-4.4

So, this forbids more as a single IPV6 SRLG TLV for a single link. The RFC is 
very clear and formal in this procedure. No issue understanding this.

But this seems to deviate from prior SRLG TLV procedures.

According RFC8919<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8919#section-4.3>, 
its possible to have multiple Type 238 TLVs for a particular link.
"Multiple TLVs for the same link MAY be advertised."

Also according to 
RFC5307<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5307#section-1.4>, for TLV138 
the following statement is made.
   "The SRLG TLV MAY occur more than once within the IS-IS Link State
   Protocol Data Units." - So for me its possible to have multiple type 138 
TLVs as well.

So not sure why this restriction is there only for Type 139 TLVs? Was this 
intentional or a accidental typo that slipped into RFC6119? Thoughts?

Brgds,
