Re: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Support for the ip6ip6 encapsulation of IOAM

quoted

With current iproute2 implementation, it is configured this way:

$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 trace prealloc type 0x800000 ns 1 size 12 [...]

Now, an encap mode must be specified:

(inline mode)
$ [...] encap ioam6 mode inline trace prealloc [...]

I take this to mean you want to change the CLI for ioam6? If so, that
does not happen once an iproute2 version has shipped with some previous
command line; it needs to be backwards compatible.

Sure. The inline mode would be the default one when using the old syntax (i.e., without specifying a mode).
