Hi Sue, The draft provides a BGP extension for signaling Composite Candidate Path. I have one minor question regarding the relationship between Composite Candidate Path and constituent SR Policies. When a referenced constituent SR Policy becomes unavailable or is withdrawn, the draft does not seem to specify how the corresponding Composite Candidate Path should be handled. It would be helpful to clarify the expected behavior in this case.
Overall, the draft is well written. I believe the draft is ready for adoption:) Yujia Susan Hares <[email protected]> 于2026年7月11日周六 00:09写道： > Greetings Spring and IDR: > > > > Please note that IPR may exist for this technology.
