Re: [Pce] changes in draft-sivabalan-pce-binding-label-sid-06

[Jeff Tantsura <[e-mail]>]

Dear PCE,

The authors have published updated version that should address comments received on the list

Summary of Changes:
- Encoding changes to the TLV
- Support for SRv6 Binding Type
- Reference to PCECC based binding SID allocation (and appendix text moved to the PCECC I-D)

We believe the draft is ready for wg adoption and would like to request the chairs to start the adoption call.
Thanks!

Cheers,
Jeff

> This encoding of BSID is similar to BGP [https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-05#section-2.4.2] that works for both SR-MPLS and SRv6.
> When length is 8, then the binding Value is a MPLS label, when length is 20, the binding value is a SRv6 SID.

> [Zhibo] I think there is no use case for binding value as “index” in SRLB, cause BSID may not be a global label.
