Hi Louis, One last bit from my side as well ... You are correct that this topic is too wide to discuss on this thread. Also, I sense that you perhaps have the use-case and applicability in your mind. Could I request you to consider putting that into the draft so we could understand the

Hi All, Thanks for your discussion, here are some informations to help understanding better. 1. About the application scenario, please refer to the following draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gong-teas-hierarchical-slice-solution/ Flex-Algo can be associated with the level-1

Hi Louis, First we need to ascertain if it is necessary before we get things flooded into IGPs. Then we can get to the evaluation of whether or how "evil" it is. The VLAN analogy seems incorrect to me and a debate on that may be orthogonal to this topic. I'll wait for the "necessity" to be first

Hi Krzysztof, I got the impression that the use-case/need for these VFA SIDs in the first place was to carry some indication in the packet for local treatment at each hop (e.g,, bandwidth profile or QoS treatment?) in the data path since the forwarding is based on FlexAlgo. If not, then I am not

Hi Krzysztof, A further question is if it is necessary to carry this "service bandwidth profile" information in the IGPs in the first place. Why not indicate this just in the packet? Wouldn't that be a better way to help scale IGPs by not introducing this into IGPs in the first place? ;-) One

Krzysiek, Then let's call it by it's name - you want packet marking to represent different PHB at segment endpoints. Yes that may be a valid ask. Not sure if we should embed this in SIDs. Remember SRH has space for additional function parameters and not everything needs to be placed into SID or
