Hi,

The authors of CRH has already have multiple drafts and more CP/ DP changes 
will be required. E.g., it will require

  *   ISIS changes (draft-bonica-lsr-crh-isis-extensions)
  *   To carry VPN information (draft-bonica-6man-vpn-dest-opt)
  *   For SFC (draft-bonica-6man-seg-end-opt)
  *   BGP changes (draft-alston-spring-crh-bgp-signalling, 
draft-ssangli-idr-bgp-vpn-srv6-plus)
  *   PCEP extension (TBA)
  *   OAM for debugging the mapping table
  *   Yang interface
  *   More to come

The scope of CRH is “limited domain” and not the “Internet”.

Given this, where the IETF community discuss how these so-called “building 
blocks” fits together?

If author’s claim is that the home for the architecture work is not Spring, 
then the authors should create a BoF in routing area to first defined 
architecture, use-case and requirements.
This is the hard worked everyone else did before the CRH authors.
Why they are looking for a short cut?

CRH is a “major” change and outside the scope of 6man charter.
It should follow the proper IETF review process.

Why CRH authors are trying to “skip the queue” and “skip the routing area”?

Thanks

Regards … Zafar

Andrew,

I don't think this is about killing innovation. After all no one is saying you

WG acceptance calls

Adoption is not acceptance. At least half the messages on this topic are 
written as if we were in the middle of a WG Last Call.

are evaluated in terms of WG rough consensu if significant number of members of 
WG find a proposal useful and if they are willing to work on it.

Indeed. Exactly. Not in the least about consensus that the proposal is ready 
for approval. Just that it is ready for discussion and, as you say, that there 
are people willing to work on it.

It seems clear that other then one vendor and very few individuals majority of 
the WG members do not support the adoption.

That's for the WG Chairs to evaluate, and I expect them to evaluate singing in 
chorus appropriately. Also, and this is not a grammatical quibble, we don't 
have "members". We have participants, and we don't count votes.

I am not against CRH. But what I am against is that CRH/SRm6 authors already 
bounced back via SPRING doors so they have chosen to try to enter via 6man 
window. That is not proper style for any proposal.

I agree that CRH is not in scope of the SPRING charter as it stands today ("the 
home of Segment Routing (SR) using MPLS (SR-MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6)"). But let me 
say again that we should hear the opinion of the routing ADs.

Regards
    Brian
