Hi Alex,

While I'm not a BSD developer, i really doubt it, considering that the 
building blocks for SR are not there ( mpls support or just label 
push/pop/swap).

On the other hand, on SRv6 as you mentioned you rely on IPv6 headers and 
there is a lot of conservatory about it.... ( unless you are a Cisco fan!)

I'm interesting on the use case, if you don't mind... is it just service 
chaining you application ? Usually servers are just part of an overlay ( 
call it VXLAN,  MPLS  or something over something else...)

Best regards.

Santiago

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.
