KT> This work is introducing new Segment Types over what is being specified
in
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy-22#section-4
and hence I believe at least a review in SPRING WG would be useful.

KT> I agree. That LSR draft is extending the algorithm which was associated
with Prefixes by RFC8402 to now also adjacency SID and would also benefit
from SPRING WG review. I do believe there is a use case for
algorithm-specific adjacency SID. Therefore, I see there is a case for the
introduction of the new Segment Types M, N, O, and P that is being proposed
by you in draft-peng-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-attr.

KT> I do not see the point of the Segment Types L and Q that are proposed
in your document. I fail to understand what is meant by validation or
troubleshooting here. I will point to Sec 4 and 5 of
draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy for details on how the segment
types are validated/used. When the SID is specified as a label or SRv6 SID
directly, then the controller has already done its resolution and
identified the SID. I don't see the point in complicating these "simple"
types that are the most widely deployed and used ones.

Thanks,
Ketan
