I’m not aware of any commercial (or sort of) deployments. So I hope it’s early enough for the implementations to adjust - Just like the consensus we had on the other issue related to allowing 0 as a valid value for “label-range (now called as “max-si)” which in-fact had a interoperability issue

I have one additional question for those with implementations or testing them. What is the impact of going with your preferred option in terms of interoperability? It may be early enough that changes can happen, but more feedback is needed. For those favoring Option B, could you send email to th

I would go with Option B: 2) Option B: Add a BAR sub-type of 8 bits. This would modify the current TLVs. Define an IANA registry for the BAR type. The meaning of the BAR sub-type derives from the BAR type. We can debate over the registration policy for the BAR type. This gives best a
