Hi Ketan!

I’m clipping the text a bit to make it readable …

There appear to be a few places where additional pointers or specification is
needed to ensure interoperability.

** Section 2.5
   When signaling is via PCEP, the method to uniquely signal an
   individual candidate path along with its discriminator is described
   in [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp].

Where is the explanation of discriminator in this reference?  “Discriminator”
appears in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 4.1.2, and 5.2.2.  In the first three section it
is simply named but not explained.  In the last section, it isn’t explained
beyond being defined as 32-bits.

KT> I have not yet reviewed that document and will do so to pass the comments 
to the authors of that document. As a reminder, this is an architecture 
document in SPRING that is then realized using protocol extensions/mechanisms 
that are specified in their respective WG documents.

[Roman] Understood that the WG considers this an architecture document, 
however, it is being published as proposed standard.  For that reason, I’m 
making these particular comments about explicitly referencing the expected 
normative behavior.

** Section 2.6.
  Candidate paths MAY also be assigned or signaled with a symbolic name
   comprising printable ASCII [RFC0020] [RFC5234] characters

How these candidate paths names are signaled isn’t defined.  I believe it is
per Section 5.2.3 of draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp and Section 2.4.7
of draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy.

** Section 2.7.  How is the candidate path preference signaled?  Is that
draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-14#section-2.4.1 and
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-14#section-2.4.1?

KT> Those protocol specs normatively refer to this document. Your understanding 
is correct about the parts of those documents.

[Roman] Specifically about Section 2.6 and 2.7, thanks for confirming that I 
read the other documents correctly.  Is there a reason the text doesn’t 
explicitly reference this relevant the normative behavior?


Thanks,
Roman
