Peter,

I suggest changing the paragraph to read as below to make this clearer.   

=====
   The SR-Algorithm Sub-TLV is optional.  It MAY only be advertised once
   in the Router Information Opaque LSA.  If the SID/Label Range TLV, as
   defined in Section 3.2, is advertised, then the SR-Algorithm TLV MUST
   also be advertised.  If a router C advertises a Prefix-SID sub-TLV for 
algorithm X 
   but does not advertise the SR-Algorithm Sub-TLV with algorithm X, then 
   a router receiving that advertisement MUST ignore the Prefix-SID 
   advertisement from router C.  If router B does not advertise the 
   SR-Algorithm TLV for algorithm X, then other routers should not 
   forward traffic destined for a prefix-SID for algorithm X advertised by
   some router D using a path that would require router B to forward traffic 
using
   algorithm X.   
=====

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

sorry for the delay, I was on PTO during last two weeks.
Please see inline:

in OSPF we do not have the SR capability TLV. We use SR-Algorithm TLV 
for that purpose. So if a router does not advertise the SR-Algorithm TLV 
for algorithm X, other routers should not send any SR traffic using SIDs 
that were advertised for algorithm X.

If the router does not advertise any SR Algorithm TLV, then the node is 
not SR capable and no SR traffic should be forwarded to such a node.

thanks,
Peter
