sure. i meant the Rule IPv6 Prefix length. :)
Ok, good.

there is still another issue, the MAX PSID. personally i like the algorithm of making longest-match for the PSID. however, the position of the PSID is somehow a problem. in the step 2) (or a little before), when you setting the delegated prefix length, this length only covers the IPv4 suffix and the PSID itself, right?
The Max PSID idea has been dropped by restoring the parameter "L", in each rule.

then if the length is, e.g., /64, and the PSID occupies the last 4 bits. then the MAX PSID for a CE is put at 60 ~ 71 bits. this is fine with the routing, which can get the encapsulated stuff to the right CE. however, it may hurt the IID to some extent, for example, we have the PSID=0x4, while for a certain packet, it contains destination port 0xe488, then the MAX PSID = 0x488, and then the IID part for this packet towards the dst CE will be not 200:5efe:: any more but
           8800:5efe::
right? making the "u" bit destroyed, and the destination CE cannot identify this is a packet for encapsulation or a packet for direct forwarding. it also detroys the V-bit in the unified address format. thus, may i understand that the planning should accommodate the MAX PSID in the first 64 bits as well? if so, can we really satisfy the requirement R-1 at the Beijing interim, stating "Efficient bit representation. Address + Port range in =/56", if the PSID is less than 4 bits? sorry if i made anything, wrong. just try to understand the design, its strength and limitations.
best,
maoke
