5.  Significant industry collaboration for SRv6 standardization

   The work on SRv6 started in IETF in 2013 and was later published in
   6man working group as [I-D.previdi-6man-segment-routing-header-00] in
   March 2014.  The first implementation was done in 2014 [WC-2015].

5.1.  Industry Collaboration for RFC8754

   A significant industry group of operators, academics and vendors
   supported and refined the initial submission [I-D.previdi-6man-
   segment-routing-header-00] according to the IETF process:

   o  Twenty-four revisions of the document were published.

   o  Over 1000 emails were exchanged.

   o  Over 16 IETF presentations were delivered.

   o  Over 50 additional drafts were submitted to the IETF to specify
      SRv6 protocol extensions and use-cases [SRH-REF-BY].  These
      documents are either working group drafts or are well on their way
      to be adopted by their respective working group.  The work spans
      13 working group, including 6man, Spring, idr, bess, pce, lsr,
      detnet, dmm, mpls, etc.  Appendix A lists IETF contribution on
      SRv6.

   The outcome of this significant support from the operators and
   vendors led to the adoption of the draft by the 6man working group in
   December 2015.

   The first last call for the SRH document was issued in March 2018.

   A significant industry group of operators, academics and vendors
   supported and refined the idea according to the IETF process:

   o  63 tickets were closed.

   o  Hundreds of emails have been exchanged to support the closure.

   o  Sixteen revisions of the document have been published to reflect
      the work of the group and the closure of the tickets.

   After about 7 years of the above-mentioned collaboration from
   operators, academics and vendors led to the publication of RFC8754 in
   March 2020.

5.2.  Industry Collaboration for SRv6 Network Programming

   The same collaborative pattern is apparent as part of the
   standardization process SRv6 network programming [RFC8986].

   The work on SRv6 Network Programming draft started in March 2017.
   The initial version contained the SRv6 Endpoint behaviors with PSP
   and USP flavors, source SR node behaviors and illustrations.

   Since the inception of the idea of the SRv6 network programming, a
   large number of contributors, operators, vendors and academics
   supported and refined the document resulting in:

   o  22 revisions of the document were published.

   o  1360+ emails exchanged on SPRING (emails containing the draft
      name).

   o  About 66 additional drafts were submitted to the IETF that
      references network programming [NETPGM-REF-BY].  The work spans 12
      working group(spring, 6man, idr, bess, pce, rtg, lsr, detnet, dmm,
      lisp, teas, bier and more).

   The outcome of this significant support from the operators and
   vendors led to start of the Working Group last call on Dec 5, 2019.

   It resulted in 27 issues addressed through 10 new revisions of the
   draft (6-15):

   o  Rev6 (Dec 11th 2019): 594 lines changed (64.6%).

   o  Rev7 (Dec 19th 2019): 148 lines changed (16.1%).

   o  Rev8 (Jan 10th 2020): 24 lines changed (2.7%).

   o  Rev9 (Feb 7th 2020): 25 lines changed (2.7%).

   o  Rev10 (Feb 23rd 2020): 101 lines changed (11.0%).

   o  Rev11 (Mar 2nd 2020): 23 lines of editorial changes (2.5%).

   o  Rev12 (Mar 4th 2020): 3 lines of editorial changes (0.3%).

   o  Rev13 (Mar 9th 2020): 9 lines of editorial changes (1%).
