SR LAN Adjacency SID (Walkthrough)

A LAN segment has been setup between R1, R2, and R3. R3 has been elected DIS.
Each router on the LAN advertises a LAN-ADJ-SID, one per node on the LAN. Each LAN-ADJ-SID sub TLV is attached to the Extended IS Reachability TLV which identifies the adjacency with the pseudonode.
We can also see this using the same show adjacency command. As usual, both a FRR and non-FRR Adj-SID are allocated:
This allows SR to operate on a LAN somewhat as if the LAN was a collection of p2p links. This is because, on a LAN, the router only advertises an adjacency with the pseudonode. However, with SR, we have a LAN-ADJ-SID per node on the LAN.
The DIS does not advertise any SR information:
Note that while a FRR-eligible Adj-SID is allocated, these are not TI-LFA protected.
The OSPF LAN-Adj-SID works slightly differently. Each node advertises a normal Adj-SID with the DR, but a LAN-Adj-SID with each BDR/DROTHER.
For example, R3 is the DR. R1 advertises a LAN Adj-SID for R2, and a regular Adj SID for R1:
The DR will have a LAN-Adj-SID with all nodes on the LAN:
