Hello,

Regarding the computation of the L4 checksum with C-SIDs, I think the text in 
section 6.5 is clear enough, and I would not modify the text as it appears in 
version 14 of the draft. It is very clear that the L4 checksum is computed 
using the destination address seen by the destination. 

Regarding the debate about whether middleboxes on the path should be able to 
compute the L4 checksum in flight, I think this should be clarified in 6man. 
Yet, I think that fields belonging to L4 headers and upper should not be 
checked or modified on the path between the source and destination, as I think 
this was the intention in RFC 8200's text.

Best regards,

Antoine Fressancourt

Subject: [spring] C-SIDs and upper layer checksums 
(draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression)

Section 6.5 of draft-ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression describes the behavior 
when an originating node inside an SRv6 domain creates a packet with a C-SID as 
the final destination. This description differs from the text in Section 8.1 of 
RFC8200.

We plan to send the draft to the 6man WG for review and explicitly highlight 
this difference.

Please comment on the text in Section 6.5. Does anything need to be added, 
deleted, changed, or clarified?

We want to ask for feedback soon; please send comments on this topic by April 
5th.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
