Hello,
I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The
Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as
they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special
request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs.
For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir
Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would
be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call
comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by
updating the draft.

Summary:
I have some minor concerns about this document that I think should be resolved
before publication.
Comments:
The draft is a bit confusing on some aspects. I had to read it again a couple
of times to understand that 2 TLVs are defined (probably my fault). If you
could make it clearer in the intro that 2 TLVs are defined each of which with a
precise scope, that would make things easier.
How about I add the following in between the second and third paragraphs
of the introduction?
NEW
So far, PCEP and its extensions have assumed that the TE paths are
label switched and are established via the RSVP-TE protocol.
However, other methods of LSP setup are possible in the PCE
architecture (see [RFC4655] and [RFC4657]). This document generalizes
PCEP to allow other LSP setup methods to be used. It defines two new
TLVs, as follows.
- The PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV, which allows a PCEP speaker to
announce which LSP setup methods it supports.
- The PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV, which allows a PCEP speaker to specify
which setup method should be used for a given LSP.
END NEW
I’ll then tweak the remaining paragraphs in the introduction to fit in with
this preamble. Does that sound OK?
Also the list of the PSTs is a bit confusing. Since each PST is a byte field
why don’t you adopt and encoding like the one used in RFC7138 section 4.1.1.
for the muxing stages? You could encode the PST values like the Stage#1…Stage#
below.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

The PST encoding is like the example you quoted i.e. a list of bytes
padded with zeros plus a field saying how many PSTs are in the list. If I
re-draw the diagram like this, does it look better to you?
