Thanks Mike,

Agreed. Just one response to capability part:

Do we even need flags in SR Policy Capability TLV for advertising support of 
those various TLVs then? Or is that purely for informational (with no impact on 
processing of actual TLV)? If it is pure informational, then maybe consider 
adding some simple statement specifying it explicitly.) Because my 
understanding is that purpose of rule for ignoring unknown TLVs by default is 
specifically to avoid unnecessary capabilities.

Regards,
Samuel

Hi all,

Thanks a lot, to authors for doing this work. It is really important for 
supporting SR policies in PCEP. I support progress of this document to RFC.

A few minor comments:


  *   For TLVs in association section, there is explicitly mentioned that those 
are “single instance” TLVs (single instance processed, other instances 
ignored), but I don’t see it mentioned for TLVs in Section 5. Are those “single 
instance” TLVs as well?
<MK>
Yes they are, I will add that statement to Section 5 as well, thanks.
</MK>


  *   “SR Policy Capability TLV” is defining capabilities for 
TLVs/functionality in Section 5. It may be good to specify how those 
capabilities should be handled – e.g. if P flag (indicates support for 
“COMPUTATION-PRIORITY TLV”) is not set in “SR Policy Capability TLV”, but PCEP 
peer received that TLV. Is PCEP peer supposed to reject it or it is still 
acceptable to use it? If it should be rejected, what should be the PCError to 
reject it (unknown TLVs should be ignored by default)?
<MK>
I think generic PCEP behavior for treating unknown TLVs (ignore them) is 
correct when a PCEP speaker receives a TLV that it did not advertise capability 
for. Do we agree? If we agree, then I don’t see a need to add a statement 
re-iterating generic PCEP behavior.
</MK>


  *   “SR Policy name” is defined as CP attribute in section “SR Policy 
Candidate Path Attributes”. Is there any reason for that? I would assume that 
it is policy attribute and not CP attribute. Can policy name be different for 
different candidate-path of same policy?
<MK>
I think your question is answered in the SR Policy Architecture RFC: 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9256.html#section-2.1-6
“””
An implementation MAY allow the assignment of a symbolic name comprising 
printable ASCII [RFC0020] characters (i.e., 0x20 to 0x7E) to an SR Policy to 
serve as a user-friendly attribute for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. 
Such symbolic names may identify an SR Policy when the naming scheme ensures 
uniqueness. The SR Policy name MAY also be signaled along with a candidate path 
of the SR Policy (refer to Section 2.2). An SR Policy MAY have multiple names 
associated with it in the scenario where the headend receives different SR 
Policy names along with different candidate paths for the same SR Policy via 
the same or different sources.
“””
The unit of signaling in PCEP (and BGP-TE) is the Candidate Path. If we had 
another unit of signaling per-Association, then we could put the Policy Name 
there.
</MK>


  *   Terminology section is defining abbreviation “SRPA” for SR Policy 
Association, but “SR Policy Association (SRPA)” or “SR Policy Association”is 
then used in a few places in the document. It may be better to replace it.
<MK>
Thanks, I’ll update that.
</MK>


  *   “SR-POLICY-CAPABLITY” -> “SR-POLICY-CAPABILITY” in section 5.1 (typo)
<MK>
Thanks, I’ll fix that.
</MK>

Thanks a lot,
Samuel
