Hi Darren,
It's always good to hear from you. Even when we disagree, the conversation is
always civil and thought provoking.
I am glad to hear that you are open to arguments suggesting that your analysis
might be incorrect. So, I accept your challenge to produce a document that
describes the advantages of SRm6 over SRv6, as well as the differences between
SRm6 and SRv6. Expect some operational hoarse-sense as well as some
architectural deep-diving.
While the document will include words on scale and performance, running code
will provide the most reliable evidence.
Happy holidays,
Ron

Subject: SRm6: Motivation?
Hi Ron, to follow up on what was said at the mic.
The current community analysis, comparing existing solutions (SRv6 and SR-MPLS
for IPv6) with SRm6, had the following result:
- a lot of differences (Architecture, Dataplane, Controlplane) and hence
engineering cost
- scale, performance and complexity drawbacks
- no genuine advantage
Hence, the very first thing you need to do is to clearly compare your solution
with respect to SRv6 and SR-MPLS and demonstrate why the above analysis is
incorrect.
Only with such a logical analysis, will the community be able to judge whether
this proposal should be pursued within SPRING.
Thanks
Darren
