This selftest is designed for testing the support of NEXT-C-SID flavor for SRv6 End behavior. It instantiates a virtual network composed of several nodes: hosts and SRv6 routers. Each node is realized using a network namespace that is properly interconnected to others through veth pairs. The test considers SRv6 routers implementing IPv4/IPv6 L3 VPNs leveraged by hosts for communicating with each other. Such routers i) apply different SRv6 Policies to the traffic received from connected hosts, considering the IPv4 or IPv6 protocols; ii) use the NEXT-C-SID compression mechanism for encoding several SRv6 segments within a single 128-bit SID address, referred to as a Compressed SID (C-SID) container. The NEXT-C-SID is provided as a "flavor" of the SRv6 End behavior, enabling it to properly process the C-SID containers. The correct execution of the enabled NEXT-C-SID SRv6 End behavior is verified through reachability tests carried out between hosts belonging to the same VPN.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
