Hi Folks,

5.1.1.  REQ-8-19-SEGMENT-LINK--LOCAL-00

   o  Description:The compression mechanism must not support an SR path

      if any segment in that path has a locator that resembles a link-

      local address (i.e., begins with fe80::/10).

  o  Rational:

   o  Metric:The compression mechanism must not forward packets through

      an SR path if any segment in that path has a locator that

      resembles a link-local address (i.e., begins with fe80::/10).

I see we have no rationale for this requirement. I suggest some text below.

"As per RFC4291, Link-Local addresses are for use on a single link. Routers must not forward any packets with Link-Local source or destination addresses to other links ."
