Dear Authors,
I am requesting your clarification regarding usage of Adj-SID in SRH header.
As per draft, the segment list is the list of 128 bit IPv6 address.
Whether it means it is global ipv6 address or can be link local address also.
As per "OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing" draft, the Adj-SID can be link
local address.
In section 7.1,
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flags | Weight | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Label/Index (variable) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Examples:
A 32 bit global index defining the offset in the SID/Label
space advertised by this router - in this case the V and L
flags MUST NOT be set.
A 24 bit local label where the 20 rightmost bits are used
for encoding the label value - in this case the V and L
flags MUST be set.
16 octet IPv6 address - in this case the V-flag MUST be set.
The L-flag MUST be set for link-local IPv6 address and MUST
NOT be set for IPv6 global unicast address.
If Link local address is Link local, how we can use this address in SRH header,
since IPv6 destination address should not be link local address as per IPv6
protocol.
If Adj-Sid is global ipv6 address, means we need to consider "global ipv6
interface address" of the neighbor on the link?

Veerendranath
