Hi Greg,

Many thanks for your valuable notes, based on we intend to make the
following changes for the next version of the document:

1, Section 1. Introduction
On “zero packet loss”. Right, we propose to change slightly your
suggestion and making the text for all covered scenarios including
non-DetNet ones.
OLD TEXT
   Redundancy protection can help to achieve zero packet loss target
   when failure on either path happens.
NEW TEXT
   Redundancy protection can reduce the packet loss level to conform
   to the Service Level Objective of a service.
END

2, Section 5.  Meta Data to Support Redundancy Protection
Right, the language needs to be changed.
OLD TEXT
   It is RECOMMENDED to add the sequence number in
   forwarding plane as performance and scalability is required.
NEW TEXT
   Sequence number MUST be included in the data plane.
END

Thanks & Cheers
Bala’zs

Hi, Alvaro et al.
I read the current version, and I support progressing the draft to IESG. The 
draft is well-written and addresses the essential requirements for DetNet by 
providing packet replication and elimination functionality (PREF) in an SRv6 
environment. Please find my notes below:

  *      Redundancy protection can help to achieve zero packet loss target
   when failure on either path happens.
Although zero packet loss is an ultimate goal, it might not be achievable, even 
using PREF. Perhaps the value of the PREF can be conveyed as follows:
   Redundancy protection can reduce the packet loss level to conform
   to the Service Level Objective of a DetNet service.

  *   I got confused by:
   It is RECOMMENDED to add the sequence number in
   forwarding plane as performance and scalability is required.
Could it be edited as:
A sequence number MUST be included in the data plane.
WDYT?

Regards,
Greg

This message starts a WG Last Call for:
draft-ietf-spring-sr-redundancy-protection-07

This Working Group Last Call ends on 2026-07-06

Abstract:
   Redundancy Protection is a generalized protection mechanism to
   achieve high reliability for service provided in Segment Routing
   networks.  The mechanism uses the "Live-Live" methodology, i.e.,
   multiple copies of the data packets are sent on different paths to
   provide protection.  This document introduces one new SRv6 Segment
   Endpoint Behavior to provide replication and elimination functions on
   specific network nodes by leveraging SRv6 Network Programming
   capabilities.
