Re: [Pce] WG Adoption of draft-sidor-pce-circuit-style-pcep-extensions-05

Hi Guan,

By any chance, do you know about some specific reason why we would have to block for example path-recomputation TLV for BIER-TE or PCECC?

To me something like ability to block path re-computation on PCE for specific LSP is generic extension. Whether there is practical use for specific path setup type is different question, but we don’t need to block such extension because of that (we have a lot of PCEP objects/TLVs which are defined generically and just not usable for LSPs of specific setup type).

I personally consider having explicit list of supported path-setup types as less future proof (that’s why I modified based on comment from Dhruv to all setup types as I considered it as cleaner solution).

For Strict-path flag from section 3.1 – that is slightly more questionable, but in general we are again talking only about bringing up O flag from RP object from stateless messages (PCReq/PCRep) to stateful messages (PCRpt,PCUpd,PCinit). So something what was already supposed to be supported by all setup types.

So is there really something what needs to be explicitly blocked? I can rather imagine explicitly defining behavior for specific setup type (like BIER-TE or PCECC) for any of those extensions if we can see added value in using it, but behavior is not clear (that can be still done after adoption and discussion with PCE WG or authors of RFCs/drafts introducing those setup types).

Thanks,
Samuel

Hi Samuel,



Thanks for your quick reply!

Yes, I agree with you. The extensions may be applicable for RSVP-TE,SR,SRv6,native IP, but I am not sure about it with BIER-TE and PCECC.

It works well for me to explicitly describe for each extension whether it is generic or applicable to specific setup type.

Thanks for your work!



Best Regards,

Quan

Hi Quan,

(sorry I sent it before finishing mail)

Originally we listed explicitly only RSVP-TE and SR-TE and then we modified based on comments from Dhruv to all setup types (attached mail).

Extensions covered in this draft were introduced to support required extensions for CS policies, but at least some of those extensions (if specific section is not describing something else) is potentially applicable to other setup types. E.g. extensions from section 3.2 for blocking re-computation.

We can still drop that specific statement and explicitly describe for each extension whether it is generic or applicable to specific setup type only. Would that work for you?

Thanks,
Samuel

Hi Dhruv,



I support the adoption of this draft. Thanks for the work from authors.

But I am confused about section 1 "PCEP extensions described in this document are applicable to all Path   Setup Types".

This draft mainly focus on the Circuit Style Policies and SR policy but path setup types include RSVP-TE,SR,PCECC,SRv6, Native IP TE path  and the newly adopted BIER-TE.

I suggest that it is better to provide clarification about other path setup types or remove this sentence.



Thanks,

Quan
