Hey,
Why do we really need SR? Be it SR-MPLS or SRv6 or SRv6+?
I don't like this, SR-MPLS and SRv6 are just utterly different things to me, and no answer meaningfully applies to both.
I don't understand the point of SRv6. What equipment can support IPv6 routing, but can't support MPLS label switching?
I'm a big fan of SR-MPLS however.
One of the advantages cited for SRv6 over MPLS is that the packet contains
a record of where it has been.
