Re: [Pce] WG adoption poll for draft-sivabalan-pce-binding-label-sid-07

Hi Boris,

[As a WG participant]

Currently, the draft says -

   A local policy or configuration at the PCC
   SHOULD dictate if the binding label/SID needs to be assigned.

Otherwise, PCE can trigger the allocation by sending a PCUpd message
with empty TLV as well. Note that this does not require PCECC
capability.

   In some cases, a stateful PCE can request the PCC to allocate a
   binding value.  It may do so by sending a PCUpd message containing an
   empty TE-PATH-BINDING TLV, i.e., no binding value is specified
   (making the length field of the TLV as 2).

I doubt this could be automated without the help of PCE.

So the question is if anything beyond local policy or configuration at
PCC needs to be done. I am not sure...

Thanks!
