Hello JP, All,

I have a question about the PCntf message format:

   <PCNtf Message>::=<Common Header>
                     <notify-list>
   <notify-list>::=<notify> [<notify-list>]
   <notify>::= [<request-id-list>]
                <notification-list>
   <request-id-list>:==<RP><request-id-list>
   <notification-list>:=<NOTIFICATION><notification-list>

It seems to mean that we have the following kind of relation between RP and 
NOTFICATION object:
  RP --(0..n)--------(1..n)--NOTIFICATION

While reading the description of the NOTIFICATION object it seems to me that it 
should be
  RP --(0..n)--------(1..1)--NOTIFICATION

Shouldn't we have the following description? 

   <PCNtf Message>::=<Common Header>
                     <notify-list>
   <notify-list>::=<notify> [<notify-list>]
   <notify>::= [<request-id-list>]
                <NOTIFICATION>
   <request-id-list>:==<RP><request-id-list>

Or is it to offer some flexibility?
Note that the same question/remark applies to Error message.

By the way I just noticed a typo in 7.13 NOTIFICATION

"If a new PCEP session is established while the PCE is in
         congested state, the PCE MUST immediately send a PCErr with
         Notification-type=2, Notification-value=1 along with the
         optional CONGESTION-DURATION TLV."

Seems PCErr should be replaced by PCntf.

Thanks 
Fabien

  Here are the minor changes:


  1) Change in the OPEN object format to align the field on byte boundaries,


  2) Addition of a new Reason for closing in the CLOSE object. 


  In rev-04 we had: 


  Reasons
      Value        Meaning
        1          No explanation provided
        2          DeadTimer expired
        3          PCEP session characteristics negotiation failure


  New:
        4          Reception of a malformed packet


  3) Typo


  Thanks.


  JP.

    A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
    directories.
    This draft is a work item of the Path Computation Element Working Group of 
the IETF.


    Title : Path Computation Element (PCE) communication Protocol (PCEP) - 
Version 1
    Author(s) : J. Le Roux, J. Vasseur
    Filename : draft-ietf-pce-pcep-05.txt
    Pages : 66
    Date : 2007-1-12



    This document specifies the Path Computation Element communication
       Protocol (PCEP) for communications between a Path Computation Client
       (PCC) and a Path Computation Element (PCE), or between two PCEs.
       Such interactions include path computation requests and path
       computation replies as well as notifications of specific states
       related to the use of a PCE in the context of MPLS and GMPLS Traffic
       Engineering.  The PCEP protocol is designed to be flexible and
       extensible so as to easily allow for the addition of further messages
       and objects, should further requirements be expressed in the future.

    NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
    MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
    feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
    command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
    a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
    exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
    "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
    up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
    how to manipulate these messages.


    Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
    implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
    Internet-Draft.
