Hi Tony, I beg to differ on the "forever" part. Which forwarding technology well maybe other then IPv6 is lasting forever. Take ATM, take FR, take even MPLS.
It seems that whatever is most widely deployed and supported today is good choice for squeezing just a bit more SRv6 header. CSID seems the be a clear winner which market and big vendors decided to adopt. I am questioning the "forever" part specifically based on control plane proposal I published to accomplish many similar objectives with no SRH at all - ultimate SRH compression :) Can't beat that. Cheers, Robert.
