Pablo,

Section 2.2 of RFC 4443 offers the following options:

"   (a) If the message is a response to a message sent to one of the
       node's unicast addresses, the Source Address of the reply MUST be
       that same address.

   (b) If the message is a response to a message sent to any other
       address, such as

       - a multicast group address,
       - an anycast address implemented by the node, or
       - a unicast address that does not belong to the node

      the Source Address of the ICMPv6 packet MUST be a unicast address
      belonging to the node. "

So, the question boils down to whether you consider a SID to be one of the 
node's unicast addresses. If so, the answer is a). If not, the answer is b)..

So, which is it?

                                                    Happy Holidays,
                                                         Ron

Ron,

I guess that draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header does not contain any 
explicit text about it because it is not needed.
Instead draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header contains a reference to RFC4443 
that details in section 2.2 how to select it.

There is no text in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming that changes 
such behavior.

Happy Holidays,
Pablo.

Pablo,

Can you provide a specific reference into 
draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header? I can't find the answer to my question 
in there.

Ron,

This is exactly the same as in the SRH.
There is no text in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming that changes 
this.

Cheers,
Pablo.

Pablo,

Section 2.2 of RFC 4443 offers two options. If you think that a SID is a 
unicast address, the first option is applicable. If you think that a SID is not 
a unicast address, the second option is applicable.

Which did you choose?

                                                                         Ron

Ron,

As you pointed out in your email, RFC4443 Section 2.2 is very clear about how 
to select the source address.
draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming does not change this.

Thanks,
Pablo.

Subject: SRv6 Network Programming - ICMP Source Address Selection

Authors,

When an SRv6 node sends an ICMP message, how does it select the ICMP message's 
source address?

Section 2.2 of RFC 4443 offers two options. If you think that a SID is a 
unicast address, the first option is applicable. If you think that a SID is not 
a unicast address, the second option is applicable.

                                                                     Ron
