Hi TEAS Working Group,

I found a suspected issue in the latest version of TE Tunnel draft by accident. Please the authors have a look.
It seems like that the previous "p2p-primary-paths" container was renamed into "primary-paths".
But in the example of session 12.5(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-34#section-12.5-2), the URL still points to "p2p-primary-paths" structure while the response is using "primary-path" structure. Just like the screenshot shows:
[cid:image001.png@01DA29E6.4EDFFD10]
I think the authors probably missed to change the URL. Please the authors check!

This issue was found when I was doing some research on the path computation policy. I am using an old version, and I was trying to find the "p2p-primary-paths" and then found there was only one case matched.
And I noticed that this "p2p-primary-path" structure was renamed by some previous versions. This is an accidental discovery and does not intentionally delay the release of TE tunnels.

BTW, I found that all the primary & secondary paths and their reverse paths can support to specify different path computation policy. This capability is great.
But what I met is people only wanted to specify a unified path computation policy for all the paths. So is it possible to specify the path computation policy only in the primary-path, and the other paths use this policy by default if there is no specific policy specified on their paths.
If the authors agree with this proposal, can some more description be added in the draft or in the model to make it clear? Thanks!

B.R.
Chaode
