Sounds reasonable, I am wondering whether it is sufficient for just defining 
one new 'D' flag in the SVEC object? Why 'D' flag was not defined when RFC5440 
was documented.
How do I know computed paths don't have any transit domains in common.
Domain diversity is more complicated when computed paths don't even share 
ingress domain and egress domain.

draft-ietf-pce-hierarchy-extensions



Just from my understanding, maybe this requirement can be resolved by extending 
the PCEP object to indicate "domain-diverse" requirement when PCE computes a 
pair of dependent path at the same time. When PCC sends path request to child 
PCE, this requirement can be indicated in the path request message, and child 
PCE can forward this requirement indication to the parent PCE. Parent PCE has 
the topology information of domains, so it is able to compute two 
domain-diverse paths.
Hi Qilei, all

Would, for example, a new bit in the SVEC saying "domain diverse" fulfill such 
requirement? I was reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6007 sect 5.3 that 
discusses this. The two step can be addressed by IRO/XRO and the common H-PCE 
case could use a D flag. Domain sub-objects are not domain-specific
