Hey,

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.
