Hi PSF and Ketan,

IMHO, the SRv6 SID Structure TLV can be included in the sub-TLV field of SRv6 
END.X TLV, SRv6 LAN END.X TLV (for adj SIDs) and SRv6 SID NLRI(for node SIDs). 
So I guess it may be a typo, the SRv6 End should be SRv6 End.X.  We can double 
check the IANA section.

But from the text in Section 7, SRv6 SID attributes,

   This section specifies the new TLVs to be carried in the BGP Link
   State Attribute associated with the BGP-LS SRv6 SID NLRI.

The sub-TLVs defined in this section are associated with the SRv6 SID NLRI, so 
these sub-TLVs are associated with node SIDs. Regarding Adj SIDs, the 
information is included in the Link NLRI. If so, do we need to make a new upper 
level for SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV? Because it is not only apply for node 
SIDs but also link/adj SIDs.



Regarding the second question.  I think,

·         an Adj-SID is included in the Link NLRI, with an optional SID 
Structure TLV as a sub-TLV. SRv6 SID NLRI and attributes are not needed to be 
included.

·         a Node SID is included in the SRv6 SID NLRI, with TLVs like SRv6 
Endpoint Behavior TLV, SRv6 BGP Peer Node SID TLV, SRv6 SID Structure TLV in 
the SRv6 SID attributes to describe the information of the node SID.



Respect,
Cheng

Hi Ketan,



I have a question for section 7.3.  SRv6 SID Structure TLV, and hope to get 
your answer.

It described:

SRv6 SID Structure TLV is used to advertise the length of each

   individual part of the SRv6 SID as defined in

   [I-D.ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming].  It is an optional TLV

   for use in the BGP-LS Attribute for an SRv6 SID NLRI and as an

   optional sub-TLV of the SRv6 End, IS-IS SRv6 LAN End.X and OSPFv3

   SRv6 LAN End.X TLVs.  The TLV has the following format:



My question is:

1) Becasue section 7 mentions that "This section specifies the new TLVs to be 
carried in the BGP Link State Attribute associated with the BGP-LS SRv6 SID 
NLRI.",

    so, can "structure TLV" be also associated with BGP-LS Link NLRI ?

2) As the description, does it mean that an SRv6 SID NLRI can contain SRv6 SID 
Information TLV for END SID or LAN End.X SID, then "structure TLV" is also 
associated with BGP-LS Link NLRI ?

3) Why the description skip End.X SID ?



Regards,

PSF
