Dear WG,

this one is, in my eyes, the most interesting issue of this series. From my 
point of view, however, I tend to agree that the issue can be resolved by 
demanding address filtering as mentioned below. I’d considers this feasible and 
reliable. The situation might be different for other operators, though.

Best regards, Martin

Betreff: [spring] Confimring resolution of issue #4 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression/

Issue #4 reads:

In some cases it is possible that the SR policy can be expressed purely with 
C-SIDs without requiring an SRH. In this case, to allow the SR domain to fail 
closed, some form of filtering based on the LOC part of the SRv6 SID is 
required as relying purely on the presence of an SRH will not be sufficient.

I would also like to note upfront that it is already possible based on RFC8754 
to send packets without an SRH (e.g. one segment encapsulated into outer 
header) but having C-SIDs makes it applicable to a wider set of use cases.

The response from the editors reads:

Added text in revision -01 (Sec. 
12<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression-05#section-12>)
 indicating that the SRv6 security model (Sec. 5.1 of RFC 
8754<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8754.html#section-5.1>) also applies to 
the SIDs defined in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression.

The SRv6 security model uses IP address filtering (SRv6 SID block) and does not 
rely on the presence of an SRH.



Please indicate to the list whether you consider this resolution sufficient to 
close the issue, or have further concerns that should be addressed.  If you 
have concerns, clarity about them is appreciated.  This call is open for two 
weeks, through August 22.
