Hi authors,

   In the section 4.2 of [draft-koldychev-pce-multipath-01], Path Attribute Object is defined as a new object that is used to carry per-path information and to act as a separator between several ERO/RRO objects.
   The newly defined object describes the attributes of the ERO object (path ID, Multipath Weight TLV, Multipath Backup TLV). Therefore, we recommend changing it to a Sub-object carried in the ERO / RRO object. This way can make the information in the ERO object centralized and complete. And from an implementation perspective, this approach can avoid the operational complexity when dealing with the pairing of Path Attribute Object and ERO Object.
    If you have other considerations, please contact me. Thanks.


Best Regards,
Ruizhao.
