Hi Igor,

A.1. I'm glad we agree on using the "te-node-id" type in both places.

A.2. I am not questioning the fact that an ID does not need to be a
routable address; I am just saying that there are (Standard Track) RFCs
that defines 128-bit TE Router IDs (e.g., RFC 6119 section 4.1, as
mentioned below) and the definition of "te-node-id" imported from
"te-types" cannot overlook that (this could be another thread directed
to the authors of ietf-te-types).

B.1. I agree that a tunnel TP is different from a link TP; I do not
suggest to use the same name on these leaves. However, both should point
to the "te-tp-id" space (instead of binary). If you believe there are
some missing encodings in "te-tp-id", what are they?

B.2. It is fine to have 2 different types such as "te-node-id" and
"te-tp-id" (as within the RO part in the tree below), we are in sync on
that.

Cheers,

Julien
