Thanks. I think I now understand what the "only" is trying to say.
To make sure, if a node advertises a SID with "ONLY", then that
compressed SID can not be the last SID in a container, as the node is
saying that it is not able to do the rest of the required work.
An interesting form of conformance, but I will leave that to the rest of
the WG to discuss.
Yours,
Joel

Subject: Re: [spring] NEXT-ONLY-CSID in

(speaking as a WG member trying to understand this exchange.)
Having two codes, one for NEXT-ONLY-CSID and one for NEXT-CSID seems odd.
[PC] Those are two different packet processing, and hence two different SRv6
Endpoint Behavior values from IANA.
In terms of what the node does with packets addressed to SIDs with the given
behavior, they seem to be the same.
[PC] No they are not. NEXT-ONLY only processes the ::/64 of the 4.1.1; whereas
NEXT-CSID processes both. Perhaps this can be clarified in further revisions.
So if I understand properly, the different is an implication about the
existence of SIDs for this node with other behaviors? But wouldn't receivers
determine such behavior being available from the advertisements of those
behaviors?
[PC] Not sure I follow these two, but I don't think its correct.
If there are no other advertised (compressed?) behaviors, wouldn't that tell
you everything you need to know.
If there are such other advertiements, but 42 (NEXT-ONLY-CSID) is advertised
what would that mean?
[PC] That you are only capable of doing the shifting operation.
And conversely, if there are no other advertised relevant behaviors, what would
it mean to advertise 43 (NEXT-CSID)?
[PC] That you are capable of processing the whole 4.1.1. We will clarify this
in future revisions.
Yours,
Joel

Hi Trevor,
This refers to a node that only processes the ::/64 (shift-and-lookup)
of 4.1.1.

Hi all,
What is the meaning of NEXT-ONLY-CSID? It isn't clear to me what the
difference is between 42 and 43 below?
+=======+========+======================================+===========+
| Value | Hex | Endpoint behavior |
Reference |
+=======+========+======================================+===========+
| 42 | 0x002A | End with NEXT-ONLY-CSID |
[This.ID] |
+-------+--------+--------------------------------------+-----------+
| 43 | 0x002B | End with NEXT-CSID |
[This.ID] |
+-------+--------+--------------------------------------+-----------+
(Looks like a similar question was asked before here
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/CAhP45_cgEQ2_1cWLFBdm8ll
JYA/>,
but I didn't see an answer.)
Thanks,
Trevor
