Subject: [Srcomp] REQ-11-30-Addressing-plan

Folks,

We seem to have lost a requirement concerning addressing plans. So, I introduce the following:

Description: The compression proposal MUST reduce the size of the SRv6 encapsulation header regardless of the addressing plan that the network operators use to number SIDs.

Rationale: Network operators will deploy the compression mechanism in brownfield networks that have already adapted an addressing plan. It may be impractical for these operators to renumber SIDs in order to obtain compression.

Metrics: The metrics in Section 3.1.1 of this document should represent multiple use-cases. In some uses cases, SIDs are drawn from diverse prefixes (e.g., two different ULAs that have only the first ten bits in common).

                                                                                                                                                                         Ron
