Summary:
Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) is an application of Segment Routing to solve the 
problem of egress peer selection. The Segment Routing based BGP-EPE solution 
allows a centralized controller, e.g. a Software Defined Network (SDN) 
controller to program any egress peer. The EPE solution requires a node to 
program the PeerNode Segment Identifier(SID) describing a session between two 
nodes, the PeerAdj SID describing the link (one or more) that is used by 
sessions between peer nodes, and the PeerSet SID describing an arbitrary set of 
sessions or links between a local node and its peers. This document provides 
new sub-TLVs for EPE Segment Identifiers (SID) that would be used in the MPLS 
Target stack TLV (Type 1), in MPLS Ping and Traceroute procedures.

The draft is well written and I is almost ready for publication.

Major issues:
None

Minor issues:

AFAIK, In the abstract this sentence appears in correct describing the PeerNode 
SID, PeerAdj SID & PeerSet SID

Old

The EPE solution requires a node to program the PeerNode Segment
Identifier(SID) describing a session between two nodes, the PeerAdj SID 
describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, 
and the PeerSet SID describing an arbitrary set of sessions or links between a 
local node and its peers.

New
The EPE solution requires the SDN controller or PCE to program the PeerNode 
Segment Identifier(SID) describing the two peering nodes, the PeerAdj SID 
describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, 
and the PeerSet SID is a SID that is describing an attribute that is shared 
between the PeerNode SID & PeerAdj SID such as load balancing.

<SH> EPE-SIDs can be locally programmed as well. Updated text as below.

The EPE solution requires the node or the SDN controller to program the 
PeerNode Segment
Identifier(SID) describing a session between two nodes, the PeerAdj SID 
describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, 
and the PeerSet SID
describing any connected interface to any peer in the related group.



Nits/editorial comments:
AFAIK since this solution describes OAM mechanism for EPE  which would be 
programmed by a PCE/SDN controller I think RFC 8664 SR PCE should be at least 
an informative reference.
<SH> RFC 8664 is used to program head-end which consist of EPE-SIDs.
The draft doesnot focus on the head-end programming aspect and hence I am 
finding it difficult
To introduce informal reference.


 Since SR EPE OAM extension of FEC Stack with the additional IANA TLVs for 
target substack is being developed with this specification AFAIK I think RFC 
4379 should be added as a information reference that includes a list of all the 
target FEC stack sub tlvs. Would this draft update RFC 4379 adding these 
additional FEC stack Sub TLVs. It maybe a good idea to add some verbiage 
related to RFC 4379 and now with this draft adding the additional FEC Stack Sub 
TLVs thereby updating RFC 4379 making RFC 4379 a normative reference.
<SH> RFC 8029 obsoleted the RFC 4379. RFC 8029 is in the normative reference 
list in this draft

 RFC 9086 has the EPE sids listed in the order PeerNode SID, PeerAdj SID, 
PeerSet SID. I think it maybe better to list in this order in the draft for 
readability since the node info is required first, followed by the link between 
the nodes, then the node/link attributes.
<SH> ok
