Hi Justin,

thx for your interest!

fair point

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

(short and memorable...)

as an alternative seg6 can work but I strongly prefer sr6

ciao
Stefano
