Hi Ina, Thanks for the feedback and proposal I would like to propose those modifications : “The end of synchronization marker is a PCRpt message with PLSP-ID equal to the reserved value 0 (see Section 7.3). In this case, the LSP Object SHOULD NOT include the SYMBOLIC-PATH-NAME TLV, SHOULD include the LSP- IDENTIFIERS TLV with the special value of all zeroes. All the flags of the LSP Object MUST be set to 0. The PCRpt message MUST include an empty ERO as its intended path and SHOULD NOT include the optional RRO object for its actual path or any other object. If the PCC has no state to synchronize, it SHOULD only send the end of synchronization marker.”
It would be good to add a sentence in case of bad encoding of the EOS marker. This may be covered but it looks confusing to mix generic PCRpt with EOS : “The PCE does not send positive acknowledgements for properly received synchronization messages. It MUST respond with a PCErr message with error-type 20 (LSP State Synchronization Error) and error-value 1 (indicating an error in processing the PCRpt) (see Section 8.5) if it encounters a problem with the LSP State Report it received from the PCC and it MUST terminate the session. “ Some error examples : 1) PCRpt S=0 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) ERO empty RRO present Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, non authorized object in EOS 2) PCRpt S=0 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) ERO empty BW=0 Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, non authorized object in EOS 3) PCRpt S=1 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) ERO empty Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, bad flags in EOS 4) PCRpt S=0 D=1 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) ERO empty Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, bad flags in EOS 5) PCRpt S=0 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) ERO non empty Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, bad ERO in EOS 6) PCRpt S=0 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.1.1) ERO empty Need an error like : LSP State Synchronization Error, bad LSP ID in EOS 7) PCRpt S=0 D=0 PLSP-ID 0 LSP-Object (LSP-ID 0.0.0.0) Handled by Missing ERO in PCRpt which will apply to EOS as well A generic error would also work but less precise : LSP State Synchronization Error, bad EOS encoding.

How about the following text? The end of synchronization marker is a PCRpt message with the SYNC Flag set to 0 for an LSP Object with PLSP-ID equal to the reserved value 0 (see Section 7.3). In this case, the LSP Object SHOULD NOT include the SYMBOLIC-PATH-NAME TLV and SHOULD include the LSP- IDENTIFIERS TLV with the special value of all zeroes. The PCRpt message MUST include an empty ERO as its intended path and SHOULD NOT include the optional RRO object for its actual path. If the PCC has no state to synchronize, it SHOULD only send the end of synchronization marker.

Even if you think that LSP-ID should not be carried, it's not explicitly mentioned in the draft, so it's authorized. Why not restricting EOS to the minimal case, and let potential future extensions to modify it ? To you forsee anycase that could require modification of EOS content ? At least the text should use normative words.

The intent here is to use a minimal PCRpt message, hence we explicitly exclude SYMBOLIC-PATH-NAME TLV and RRO. ERO is kept empty for the same case. I think we have not precluded other TLVs from appearing in EOS to allow future extensions. I do not think LSP-IDENTIFIERS TLV should be carried here, as it serves no purpose and is not required -- section 7.3.1's MUST condition does not trigger, as PLSP-ID=0 is a reserved value and does not identify an LSP. > It would be good to enhance the text to better describe the content of EOS. > > We suppose that in case there is an issue with the encoding of the EOS > marker, the following behavior will be applied, could you confirm ? > (typically bad encoding of EOS marker) : > " The PCE does not send positive acknowledgements for properly received > synchronization messages.

Yes. This would trigger, for example, for PLSP-ID=0 and non-empty ERO.
