Hi all,

this RFC series adds support for the SRv6 End.DT2U behavior and
introduces the srl2 Ethernet pseudowire device, together with
corresponding selftests.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the work you (and Stefano) put into this series! As
discussed offline, there is interest in such a solution.

Hi Justin,

thx for your interest!

A general comment: I'm not sure about the name "srl2", as we're
talking about SRv6 specifically here.

fair point

I would personally love to have
"l2srv6", although I suspect we may end up with "l2seg6" to remain
consistent.

I'd like to keep it as short as possible, our initial idea was seg6l2, very
close to your last suggestion, then we opted for srl2 losing the "6" concept

now it comes to my mind that l2 is somehow redudant in an interface type name,
as an interface is an l2 concept per se, so my preferred option becomes:

sr6

Note that the interface name is defined to kind + a number when the IFLA_IFNAME
attribute is not specified:

Here, the default name will be 'sr60' :)

+1

'vti6' is already in this case, so it's probably ok. I vote for 'sr6' too ;-)

My two cents,
Nicolas
