Ron,

In the example you listed the SRv6 implementation does not reply sending an 
ICMPv6 Parameter Problem message.
As you said, this would be a violation of RFC4443. I believe that RFC4443 is 
very clear about this.

Thanks,
Pablo.

Subject: [spring] SRv6 And ICMP Processing

Pablo,

Assume that an SRv6 implementation receives the following packet:


-          IPv6 Header

o   Destination Address is a locally instantiated END.DX4 SID

o   Next Header is ICMPv6

-          ICMPv6 Header

o   Type is Parameter Problem

Section 4.5 of draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming-05 suggests that the 
implementation would respond by sending another ICMPv6 Parameter Problem 
message. This would violate RFC 4443, Section 2.4.e.

You might want to add some text to the draft stating compliance with the rules 
in Section 2.4 of RFC 4443.

                                                                                
     ROn
