The IPv6 Compressed Routing Header (CRH)
draft-bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr-04
Abstract
This document defines the Compressed Routing Header (CRH). The CRH,
like any other Routing header, contains a list of segment identifiers
(SID). The CRH differs from other Routing headers in that its
segment identifiers can be 8, 16 or 32 bits long.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on November 7, 2019.
