Hi Quan,

Thank you for proposing the text. Please see my comment below.

4.5.  Path Attributes Object



   The Path Attributes (PATH-ATTRIB) Object is used to carry per-path

   information and to act as a separator between several ERO/RRO objects

   as per [I-D.ietf-pce-multipath].

As per [RFC9545], a Path Segment can be used to uniquely identify a

   segment list or multiple segment lists in a candidate path or an SR

   policy.

__OLD__

When a set of path segments are used to identify multiple

   segment lists, the Path Segment TLV as described in the

   Section 4.2.1, MUST be carried in the PATH-ATTRIB Object to indicate

   the per-SR-path information regarding the Path Segment identifier.

[Cheng]This might be rephrased. My suggestion.

When multiple ERO/RRO objects are included as per [I-D.ietf-pce-multipath], to 
support multiple segment lists in an Candidate Path [ref to SR policy draft], 
the Path Segment TLV as described in the Section 4.2.1, MUST be carried in the 
PATH-ATTRIB Object to identify each SR path associated with a segment list.

The P flag in LSP Object is used to indicate that the allocation of all path 
segments need to be done by the PCE. A Path Segment TLV encoded in the LSP 
Object apply to all the ERO/RRO, while a Path Segment TLV encoded in a 
PATH-ATTRIB Object only apply to its ERO. In the cases that all the segment 
lists are sharing a same PSID, the Path Segment TLV can be carried in the LSP 
Object or each PATH-ATTRIB Object, respectively.

Subject: Path segment supporting multiple segment lists in a candidate path




Hi PCE WG,



A new version has been submitted as per 
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sr-path-segment-11.txt.



But in case of supporting multiple segment lists in a candidate path, it is 
required to add Path Segment TLV into Path Attributes Object as different path 
segment may identify different segment list . And in order to make it backward 
compatible to current implementation, it needs to allow carrying the TLV in 
both LSP and PATH-ATTRIB object. So I suggest to add a new section to describe 
this part of extension as following shown.

   The Path Attributes (PATH-ATTRIB) Object is used to carry per-path

   as per [I-D.ietf-pce-multipath].



   As per [RFC9545], a Path Segment can be used to uniquely identify a

   segment list or multiple segment lists in a candidate path or an SR

   policy.  When a set of path segments are used to identify multiple

   segment lists, the Path Segment TLV as described in the

   Section 4.2.1, MUST be carried in the PATH-ATTRIB Object to indicate

   the per-SR-path information regarding the Path Segment identifier.

   The P flag in LSP Object is used to indicate that the allocation of

   all path segments need to be done by the PCE.  When one single path

   segment is used to identify all segment lists, the Path Segment TLV

   MAY be carried in the LSP Object or PATH-ATTRIB Object.  But the Path

   Segment TLV MUST be ignored in the LSP Object when it is also

   included in the PATH-ATTRIB Object.



What is your thoughts? Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!



Best Regards,

Quan
