Hi Rodney, I haven't said that is not approved or an RFC exist (there are many and some interesting use cases) , but can you tell me of any in production deployments? The conservatory still there, if you check with your customer, how many are willing to deploy it? Open for an offline talk about it as i really like to know if you are seeing other thing..

I see Linux supporting it. Wondering if there is something planned on FreeBSD too.My app runs on FreeBSD and I have a use case to share information from one application gateway to another about connection identity. I thought SRv6 header can help me here. >>> Thank you.Alex. >>> _______________________________________________ >>> freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list >>> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net >>> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list >> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> >>
