Hi Aijun,

Thank you for your comments.

These three drafts have different scenarios and scopes. It is recommended to 
proceed with WG adoption first.
Additionally, here is a supplementary explanation of the differences between 
the three drafts:

1)     draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimize-06: This is a BGP-TE extension, 
which differs from the BGP-LS extension in 
draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00. They are extensions of 
different address families.

2)     draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00: This is a BGP-LS 
extension.

3)     draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flags: This is a BGP-TE extension, adding 
some control features specifically for SR policy. It defines a control TLV at 
the SR policy level to facilitate certain behavior control.
These three drafts are distinct. The first two address the same scenario but 
differ in that they are extensions of BGP-TE and BGP-LS, respectively.
In contrast, draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flags defines an extension to the 
BGP SR Policy that sets the administrative state of the candidate path or 
segment list, facilitating the operation and maintenance of the SR Policy.

Thanks,
Changwang

Hi, Sue:

If these three drafts are interrelated, I would like you to encourage the 
authors of these drafts to combine into one draft, not three separate documents.
Should we try to decrease the “fragmentation” of IETF standards?

I have reviewed all three documents and think they can be combined into one 
document.

And, It seems that the “IFN (Install Final Node-sid) - 1 bit (Bit Position 
TBD1):” in draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00.txt, is 
actually defined in draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimize-06.txt, then why the 
WG adoption call draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00.txt?

Greetings:

This is an adoption 3 week WG adoption call sent to IDR and Spring for the 
following 3 drafts:
1. draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flag-05.txt –
2. draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimize-06.txt
3. draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00.txt

Both WGs must agree that these drafts are useful and appropriate.

The authors of these three drafts should respond to this email with an IPR 
Statement specifying the following:
1) draft you are a co-author on,
2) Whether you know of any IPR on that draft.

Background for the WG and Spring.

 [I-D. draft-ietf-spring-srv6-policy-sid- list-opt] specifies procedures to 
indicate whether the endpoint's node SID needs to be included or excluded when 
installing the SRv6  Policy.

1) draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flags specifies as Segment List Administrative 
Flags as segment list SubTLV. Flags include:
S- admin shutdown, B- backup ineligible, I-Ignore service route's Prefix SID, 
D- drop upon invalid (section 8.2, RFC9256), and E – eligible.
2) 
draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimize<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__datatracker.ietf.org_doc_draft-2Dliu-2Didr-2Dsr-2Dsegment-2Dlist-2Doptimize_&d=DwMFAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=rEoy_H4r-c4UNUr3jSF-7Q&m=RjntOQpE0PTOmyN9aktQ2Swdw2n9KkMaab5dO_bRoNPQbJdQYV5cBJEfNcJbuuOI&s=rwc-kio_SJHar0SdViNs5UMjP6RG_m8-s8v6at9IV5o&e=>
 =  adds a flag of flag INF-Flag to Segment list administrative flags specified 
by draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flags.  The value (1) for INF-Flags indicates 
endpoint node SID is included in installing SID list(s) of the Candidate Path 
(CP) when set.
3) draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00.txt -  send INF-Flag 
in BGP-LS

Why 3 drafts in 1 call?
As you can see from the description, if draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flags is 
not adopted – then the other two drafts cannot be adopted.
Similarly, if draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimized is not adopted, then 
draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution cannot be adopted.

Questions for Spring WG:
1) Do these drafts correct implement 
[draft-ietf-spring-srv6-policy-sid-list-opt] concepts?>
2) Do you see any problem with the adoption of any of these three drafts:
(draft-lin-idr-sr-policy-admin-flag-05.txt, 
draft-liu-idr-sr-segment-list-optimize-06.txt, 
draft-ali-idr-bgp-ls-sr-policy-sl-opt-distribution-00.txt)

Question for IDR:
1) Are there any problems in the technology descriptions?
2) Does the status and setting of this flag work?  Are the “delays” inherent in 
BGP distribution a concern?
3) Does this draft help operators deploy SRv6?

Question for Spring and IDR:
1)  Does this draft open any error issues?

Please include in your comments – Support or No support for adoption.

Cheerily, Susan Hares
