Wesley, Thanks for the review. The Replication function is performed by nodes within an SR domain. The trust model of SR with traffic filtering at SR domain boundaries applies to this document and is covered by the first sentence referring to security considerations of RFCs 8402, 8986 and 8754.
I will add some text addressing comment (2). As Joel mentioned, pseudo-code uses a convention introduced in SRv6 RFC 8986. I will add a reference to 8986 in Section 2.2.1. -Rishabh On Fri, Jun 16, 2023 at 1:33 PM Wesley Eddy via Datatracker < nore...@ietf.org> wrote: > Reviewer: Wesley Eddy > Review result: Almost Ready > > This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's > ongoing effort to review key IETF documents.
