Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the review and comments. This is very helpful.

As I mentioned during my presentation of the drafts, the level of details 
specified in the model is very important and subjective. We really need people, 
especially with operational experiences of the feature, to provide us feedback.
[Bruno] Thanks

Please see my answers below.

Thanks,
Yingzhen

Hi authors, all

Thanks for the draft. I would support its progression. (and we want more PICS 
drafts 😉 )

I've quickly read the draft. Please find below some comments.


"     +--ro prefix-sid-sub-tlv-support?         isis-pics:support"

I think that it would be good to have the detail on a per TLV basis (TLVs 135, 
235, 236, 237).
Especially as some implementations are partial (e.g., support IPv4 but not IPv6)
[Yingzhen]: I understand an implementation may not support multi-topology, so 
the prefix-sid sub-tlv is not included in TLV 235 and 237. However, for IPv4 
(TLV135) and IPv6 (TLV236), isn't the "i-bit" and "v-bit" in the SR capability 
enough?

[Bruno] My understanding is that the V-flag advertises a dataplane capability. 
e.g., as a guess, the ability for the router to process an “IPv6 Explicit NULL 
Label” (which could for example be added below an IPv4 Prefix SID).
While prefix-sid-sub-tlv-support is a control plane capability (mapping a FEC 
to a label)
I would assume that all router supporting IPv6 (and MPLS) would support the 
V-flag. On the other hand, some router supporting IPv6 were not supporting IPv6 
prefix SID. At least in the early days, but I would assume this may not have 
changed.

To some extent, same comment for the adj_SID TLVs.

I would also propose to explicit the support of the flags.
May be using the flag numbers for currently undefined flags.
Again, some implementations do not support all flags. (e.g., V and L flags. 
However for those ones it's a bit more tricky as some implementation may 
support a single value (e.g. unset for some flags and set for some others flags)
[Yingzhen]:  Totally agree with you, the support of the flags is indeed tricky. 
Also it's hard to pick what flags to be included in the model. I personally 
don't think it's a good idea and useful to include all flags. I actually once 
did this and decided to remove the flags, as I feel too much information is not 
very useful. However, I agree with adding some flag support if these flags are 
considered important. As you see I included i-bit and v-bit.

[Bruno] ok. Looks reasonable and I agree with you
For prefix-SID:
I guess the E and P flags are supported by all implementations as they are 
associated with “MUST”. (OTOH I tend to be occasionally negatively surprised by 
implementations not supporting MUST. A typical example would be with RFC3107. 
They would still claim being compliant with RFC though…)
V/L-flags support is a MUST. But the support of “1”/set is optional and would 
impact interop. So may be reporting the ability to set each (to 1). Now, both 
flags are not independent (cf §2.1.1.1) so probably reporting a single PICS 
(e.g., prefix-sid-flag-L-set-support.

BTW, as a “naming” question, do we need to add the “-support” suffix to all 
PICS? Very open question as I don’t have an opinion. May be factoring it to the 
parent hierarchy? isis-pics-sr-mpls-support


+--ro sid-label-binding-tlv-support?      isis-pics:support

This TLV has multiple usages. Originally to advertise Binding SIDs but this has 
been removed from the RFC. Currently for Mapping Server and for Mirror SID. So 
there would be a need to distinguish usages for implementations which may 
support one but not the other(s).

[Yingzhen]: Good point. I will add a distinction for these two usages.

[Bruno] Thanks.

Also for mapping server, I think some implementations had split this into 2 
separates features: reception of the TLV and emission (MS configuration). Given 
that implementations have (had?) this level of details, PICS probably also 
needs it.
[Yingzhen]: I will add support for mapping server: sending and receiving, or 
receiving only.

[Bruno] Excellent, thanks.


Thanks for having included the support of SR capability flags as they advertise 
a significant feature (IPv6 support) and some implementations may not support 
it.

What about adding rfc8668 in the scope (L2 bundle). Not as priority for me so I 
won't insist but this could easily be in the scope of this document.
[Yingzhen]: I will look at this and see whether to include it in the same 
module or have a separate module.

[Bruno] Perfect.

Thanks Yingzhen

Editorial:
* In yang descriptions,
- sometimes "tlv" is used, sometimes "TLV" is used. Consistency would probably 
be better. RFC 8667 uses TLV.
- I would have a personal preference to add the Type number. E.g. :s/Support of 
prefix-sid sub-tlv/Support of prefix-sid sub-tlv (Type 3).

* The list of authors of the model does not match the list of authors of the 
draft.
* The document does not seem to use RFC2119 keywords. So may be this 
boilerplate section is not needed.

[Yingzhen]: I'll upload a new version soon and address these editorial issues.


Thanks,
Regards,
--Bruno
