Hi Chairs and group,

SRCOMP design team is discussing the Point-to-multipoint requirement for SR
compression as text below. 

But we observed that the SPRING charter did not mention point-to-multipoint
content. 

One question for SPRING WG:

Whether the Point-to-multipoint requirement is in scope of SPRING?

===

Short Name: Point-to-Multipoint

   Description: The compression mechanism SHOULD support point-to-

   multipoint SR paths.

   Rationale: Many VPN services require point-to-multipoint SR paths.

   Metric: A compliant proposal can encode a multicast address in the

   ultimate segment of the segment list.

B.R.
