I see many folks on this colorful thread simply forgot what networks
are for. To deliver packets in the most robust and resilient way to
end user applications.
They’re for delivering packets, agreed.
I did look at the protocols involved here; the ingress does add headers
but doesn’t appear to handle fragmentation.
That’s a non-starter if you want your packets to traverse a network
because people WILL hand you 1280-byte packets, so what will you do?
FWIW, we have been insisting on this point (and others) since they first
tried to push EH insertion in draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header.
THey removed it from *that* document, but they keep trying to push
similar ideas in other documents.
