/* resending and I got suppressed due to exceeding # of recipients */ Dave,
Two main fundamental points: 1. Is there any assumption that SR-MPLS paths are end to end (ingress to egress) of a given domain ? SR does not require end to end paths. In fact this is most beauty of SR that you can add one label to forward packets to different node in SPF topology and you make sure that traffic will be natively flowing from there over disjoined path to native path. How in those deployment cases all of those discussions here even apply ? 2. To make a construct of a SR PATH you must assume that SR segments are tightly coupled. And this is very bad as by design segments are not coupled to each other and in fact can be chosen dynamically in transit nodes. In those cases there is no concept of SR PATH at all. Thx, R.
