Hello Matyáš, we'll love to see your contribution, and we'll try to merge it. Would you please have some time next week to do a quick call to do some coordination and establish fast communication links? (Please continue this communication off-list to maria.matejka@nic.cz, thanks!) Have a nice day! Maria On March 5, 2025 3:04:23 PM GMT+01:00, "Matyáš Kroupa" <xkroupa3@fi.muni.cz> wrote:

Hi, I recently decided that I would want to implement SRv6 extensions for OSPFv3 in Bird as my diploma theses. I study at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University in Brno.

As segment routing is a huge topic, I would start from the ground. That would mean implementing extended LSAs that use TLVs, then TLVs for Segment Routing with IPv6 dataplane. Since that would not be enough for a diploma thesis, I would also add definitions for Flex-algo.

I already started with adding constants and data structures for extended LSAs. I read the contribution guide and worked on branch thread-next.

I hope that my contribution will be welcomed and I am looking forward for hearing any comments from the maintainers. Best regards, Matyáš Kroupa
