Dear Peter, We used segment routing support flag (bit 6 or 7 in RI capability information) to notify the node support SR capability. But there may be some legacy I/O boards which are not capable for SRH/MPLS processing, can be bound to OSPF process.
OSPFv3 extended LSAs can also be used to carry normal prefix information same as regular LSAs. For MPLS, we have sub TLVs for SR prefix information, so that we can identify the prefixes not used for segment routing. But for IPv6, prefix information itself prefix SID, so mostly sub TLV information is not used to carry additional SR information. So in this case, I feel, we may need a flag to identify the prefixes not supported segment routing or supporting segment routing.
