Can you explain then what the text is section 10.1 is talking about?  It seems like it is mandating certain bits being 0 for it to be considered a match?  (I will also have to find out more about why the tests showed certain routers dropping such packets.)

Yours,

Joel

Hi Joel,

The receiver in this case is an SR segment endpoint node processing an IPv6 packet that matches a FIB entry locally instantiated as a SID of this document. Therefore, the expected behavior of the receiver is that described in Sec. 4.

Thanks,
Francois

Askign as a participant:

In section 10.1 it says:

When the SRv6 SID in the destination address of the ICMPv6 echo request is one of the SID flavors defined in this document, the SR source node MUST set the arguments of the SID to 0

What is a receiver required to do if it gets an improper ICMP, e.g. a ping to aa compressed SID with non-zero argument?  Reports from tests show one implementation dropping the ping and another implementation responding to it.

Thank you,

Joel
