Hi Tianran, I cannot consider SRv6 to be a separate, different data plane from IPv6. In fact, since IP is not putting packets on a wire but uses lower-layer encapsulation, SRv6 and IPv6 share the same data plane encoding, for example, Ethernet. Furthermore, as I've described in my note to Robert, an implementation based on RFC 9343 can be already used in an SRv6 domain with any degree of flexibility that is required by an operator. That flexibility, as I imagine, will be provided based on the Alternate Marking YANG data model applied to the IPv6 environment. True, the solution proposed in the draft may provide some performance improvement, but I don't see it as a significant enough benefit in processing to justify a solution to the scenario that is already addressed.
