From my reading of the draft the proposal is only to try to find the
conventional shortest repair path from the PLR to the node specified by ToS
I have always though that this needed a health warning, as presumably
the SR path was calculated for a reason and FRR needs to respect that
reason.
This is true if ToS is an node-SID, it is even more the case if the ToS
is an adj-SID.

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.
My 2c.

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
