COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for working on this document. I have not comments from transport
protocol points of view.

I have following comment/question though -

 - In section 6.1 it says -

              "The PCInitiate message SHOULD be sent to PCC which is acting as
              BGP router and/or RR."

   In Section 6.2 it says -

              "The PCInitiate message SHOULD be sent to every router on the
              path."

   To me it seems like there is not way to bypass those SHOULDs and get the
   route and session establishment procedure done. If that understanding is
   correct then what are the exceptionsthiking about to let the implementers
   skip that part? Also, if this understand is not true, then I would expect
   this document to give warnings on the effects of skiping the PCInitiate
   messages.
【WAJ】:For “SHOULD” in section 6.1 that you mentioned, the original 
considerations are that such PCInitiate message may be sent to PCCs only(in 
no-RR scenario); or be sent to PCC and RR(in RR scenario). If we use MUST, it 
will be not appropriate for the no-RR scenario. Then, we select the word 
"SHOULD". Or we change the text as below:
"The PCInitiate message MUST be sent to PCCs which are acting as BGP peer 
routers and exchange routes directly, or MUST be sent to PCC and RR 
respectively when two PCCs exchange the routes via the RR" 

For "SHOULD" in section 6.2, actually there are some situations that such 
PCInitiate messages doesn't need to be sent to every router. For example, if 
the links between two router are not congest, it is not necessary to control 
the forward path explicitly via the PCIniitiate message that includes EPR 
objects. The traffic can depend solely on the default path that calculated by 
the IGP algorithm to forward the traffic. This is the reason that we use the 
word "SHOULD", instead of "MUST".

Should we add such explanation into the context then?
