SUMM: IPv6 address summarization
Description: The solution MUST be compatible with IPv6 address summarization

Rationale: Summarization of segments is a key benefit of an SR instantiation for the IPv6 dataplane vs an SR instantiation for the MPLS dataplane.  Summarization allows intermediate segments in one area to have no specific knowledge of segments in another area, permitting forwarding to segments in another area based on a summarized route.

Metric: A proposal that allows for summarization of segments complies with this requirement.
