# Gunter Van de Velde, RTG AD, comments for

## Many thanks for writing this document. I found the text not easy to process,
mostly due to the many many references used in the document.

## I support Roman's discuss that applies to -34

17      Abstract
18
19         This document defines the Path Computation Element Communication
20         Protocol (PCEP) extension for Central Control Dynamic Routing (CCDR)
21         based applications in Native IP networks.  It describes the key
22         information that is transferred between the Path Computation Element
23         (PCE) and the Path Computation Clients (PCC) to accomplish the End-
24         to-End (E2E) traffic assurance in the Native IP network under PCE as
25         a central controller (PCECC).

[minor]
an alternate proposal for abstract easier to digest and read for people with
less PCEP awareness. Please use or ignore as you find useful

"
This document defines extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication
Protocol (PCEP) to support the computation of paths for native IP traffic. The
proposed extensions enable a Path Computation Element (PCE) to calculate and
manage paths for native IP networks, enhancing the capabilities of PCEP beyond
traditional MPLS and GMPLS networks. By introducing new PCEP objects and
procedures, this document allows for the efficient use of IP network resources
and supports the deployment of traffic engineering in native IP environments. "

【WAJ】Have updated the document accordingly.

114        Generally, Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS-
115        TE) requires the corresponding network devices to support Resource
116        ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)/Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
117        protocols to ensure the End-to-End (E2E) traffic performance.  But in

[minor]
should there be no reference to rsvp and ldp RFCs?
【WAJ】Added the reference.


199        N (NATIVE-IP-TE-CAPABILITY - 1 bit - 30): If set to 1 by a PCEP
200        speaker, it indicates that the PCEP speaker is capable of TE in a
201        Native IP network as specified in this document.  The flag MUST be
202        set by both the PCC and PCE to support this extension.

[minor]
What about the folowing proposed textblob?

"
N (NATIVE-IP-TE-CAPABILITY - 1 bit - 30): When set to 1 by a PCEP speaker, this
flag indicates that the PCEP speaker is capable of TE in a Native IP network,
as specified in this document. Both the PCC and PCE MUST set this flag to
support this extension. "

【WAJ】Yes, Thanks.


223        If one or both speakers (PCE and PCC) have not indicated support and
224        willingness to use the PCEP extensions for Native-IP, the PCEP
225        extensions for the Native-IP MUST NOT be used.  If a Native-IP

[major]
earlier in the text i only saw the N flag, however this text seems to indicate
two flags? (1) support for Native-IP and (2) willingness to use Native-IP Maybe
i missunderstood how the willingness is signalled?
【WAJ】:Only one flag.  Here the "willingness" to use is describing the situation 
that that the newly defined PCEP extension is used, but the negotiation of this 
capabilities is not agreed. I have simplified the description as the 
followings: "If one or both speakers(PCE and PCC) have not indicated the 
support for Native-IP, the PCEP extensions for the Native-IP MUST NOT be used. 
If a Native-IP operation is attempted when both speaker have not agreed on the 
OPEN messages, the receiver of the message MUST:


350        The error handling for missing CCI objects is as per [RFC9050].
351        Furthermore, one, and only one, object among BPI, EPR or PPA object
352        MUST be present.

[minor]
Maybe this can be rewritten more normative? what about

"
Error handling for missing CCI objects MUST be performed as specified in
[RFC9050]. Additionally, exactly one object among the BPI, EPR, or PPA objects
MUST be present. "

【WAJ】Yes. It seems more brevity. Have updated the document accordingly.
