Fred and Joel,

You may be aware of segment routing whose architecture and MPLS version are discussed in the SPRING WG. But, there is also an IPv6 version discussed in 6MAN:

  *   draft-previdi-6man-segment-routing-header
  *

draft-vyncke-6man-segment-routing-security-00

It is about a modified routing extension header to allow mainly for traffic engineering and or replace a MPLS LDP core by a native IPv6 one. Hence, there is a major (we hope) operational impact.

Stefano (in cc) and I understand that we are late in the process to get a slot in V6OPS, but, if you could get us a 10-minute slot on Monday AM or Tuesday PM, then we could present what are the goals & architecture of segment routing for IPv6 (which really leverages IPv6, hence perhaps 'the killing app' for IPv6 :-))

Thanks in advance and see you in Toronto
