Re: [spring] SR-MPLS over IPv6?

Supposedly "Segment Routing" is an architecture according to RFC 8402, so anything that satisfies the architecture can use the term "Segment Routing".. If SPRING want to play that game, then stop using "IPv6", because a number of proposals blatantly and purposely don't comply with Internet

Hi Ron, “limp” is indeed humorous interpretation! I can see why you would not want to take seriously! I do confess that I’m not a native English speaker. I intended it to be pronounced “/limf/” as in the “lymphatic system” due to the distribution of state to nodes in the system. Thanks

Zafar, This is a pretty obvious attempt to create backronymn ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym ) with negative connotations. So, I am not taking it seriously. (For those who are not native speakers of English, the work “limp” carries negative connotations in English.)

Hi Ron, I agree with Dan, Jeff and others that the name should NOT create confusion with an already established technology (SR). The name should reflect the design and the spirit of your proposal. To try to help you differentiate your solution, may I propose “LIMPH: Label Indirection with

The thing that pushes the original SR design into statefulness is binding SIDs which require state to be pre-positioned in the network. - Stewart On 25/09/2019 20:50, Joel M. Halpern wrote: SR is Stateless in the sense of not having per-path state.  It is not stateless in a general sense,
