No. It uses IPv6 and must therefore follow the rules of IPv6. What I propose is to update IPv6 to make this possible, but you can't break the rules in a standard without consensus that the rules can be changed. > For example, it is allowed to perform functions such as PSP within SRv6 > domain; Could we treat IPv6 headers function of internal and external layers > differently, after all, their purposes are different. Let's not use implicit definitions of "internal" and "external" layers. They don't make sense in a global protocol (and despite your claims that SRv6 is limited to a specific domain, it really isn't. It uses global IPv6 addresses and can traverse the global internet). Let's define global rules that apply to everybody instead, and standardise this behaviour. Cheers, Sander
