Because the normal FRR can not protect the designated node of SR-TE, a method 
is provided to perform the label POP action by the penultimate hop of the 
specified node replacing the specified node and forward it to the node 
corresponding to the next label. However, Here are some questions we can 
discuss, if it is a loose path, SR-TE designated node failure, the packet can 
not be forwarded to the penultimate hop of the specified node.

主题: Re: Protecting SR policy midpoints 
(draft-bashandy-rtgwg-segment-routing-ti-lfa)

My understanding is that draft wants to provide a solution for the problem 
where the active segment is a prefix/adjacency segment of the neighbor and the 
neighbor fails. A solution to this is possible only at a node that is enforcing 
the SR policy (consisting of the segment list). For a transit node, its data 
plane would have to peek into the label stack and determine the type of the 
segment/label following the active segment and act accordingly, which is not 
inline with the SR architecture which requires SR to work 'as is' on 
traditional MPLS data plane

Muthu and all,
I do not see how the draft in quesrion us related to "SR Policy".

From my POV its scope is a SR LSP comprised of multiple Node SIDs within a 
single IGP domain, and it provides local fast protection against failure of a 
node that terminates one of the segments comprising this LSP. Pritection action 
is performed by the penultimate node.

Section 5.3 of draft-bashandy-rtgwg-segment-routing-ti-lfa describes protecting 
SR policy midpoints against node failure for the case where the active segment 
is the prefix or adjacency segment of a neighbor.

I believe the steps described in the procedure is applicable only for a node 
steering packets into the SR policy. This could be an ingress PE steering IP 
packets into a SR-TE tunnel or an intermediate node steering labeled packets 
received with a BSID into a SR-TE tunnel identified by that BSID.

A transit node that has no idea about the SR policy itself is not expected to 
perform the procedure described in that section.

Is my understanding correct?

Muthu
