Ron,

This statement is incorrect. As already explained in the mailer, the SID 
identifies the packet processing that must be done on egress.
The IPv6 No Next Header indicates that there is no further Internet Protocol 
header to be processed before the encapsulated packet.

Multiple options were discussed on the list with no clear consensus. The 
authors suggest keeping NH=59 for this use.
Note that SRv6 uses also the IPv6 No Next Header (59) for other non-IP payloads 
different from ethernet (e.g. Unstructured PDUs 
-draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-05)

Cheers,
Pablo.

Header

 In SRv6, No next header means that the next header is Ethernet.
