Subject: Re: [Pce] PCE segment routing extension

Hi Marina,

I am the document shephered [1] for this I-D. I am working with the authors in 
the final stages towards RFC publication. Please see inline for my response.

Thanks!
Dhruv

Dear authors of draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-12,

My colleagues and I are interested in some clarifications:

1.       In section 6.2.1 “If the first SR-ERO represents an MPLS label value 
then the NAI field MUST NOT be absent…”

In case of binding SID as first SR-ERO, it can be MPLS label only, without NAI.
[Dhruv]: I am working with the authors in removing the restriction, you will 
find my rationale in [1].
But also note that while preparing MPLS label stack at PCE, this label stack 
should be from the POV of the ingress PCC.

[Jon] The difficulty is knowing which label space the first SR-ERO label comes 
from.  If it is a label from the PCC’s own SRGB then it can be used to infer 
the next hop.  If it is a label from the first downstream router’s SRGB, then 
the PCC needs more information to determine the next hop.  The draft currently 
assumes the latter.

2.       This draft defines the new error codes related to SR-ERO conversion, 
that were not defined in previous version.
What is expected behavior of PCC in additional to sending error message.

For example:

In case PCUpd for PCE initiated LSP, PCE sends new SR-ERO objects to PCC. PCC 
shall validate and interpret the SR-ERO EROs.

If SR-EROs cannot be converted to an MPLS label stack and a next hop, PCC shall 
send PCErr message with Error-Type “Reception of an invalid object”.

What is expected handling of new SR-EROs in updating LSP – LSP shall stay with 
old SR-ERO objects or with new ones, but in down state?
[Dhruv]: I agree that this should be clearly stated. Keeping the principle of 
make before break, staying on wil old SR path makes sense!

[Jon] I agree that this clarification should be added.

Thanks!
Dhruv
