Hi Vishwas, 

Good point. 

This is mentioned in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pce-monitoring-05. Specifically, where
a sequence of PCE IDs is required:

a. put each PCE ID in a separate object
b. allow a sequence of objects

So, if we have to have a sequence of PCEs it would be better to define the
sequences to go in the messages. I completely agree that we should be able
to freely mix IPv4 and IPv6 on an end-to-end path. The addresses will not be
mixed within a domain, but successive domains might use different address
formats. 

I'd think that the message format we planned to have:

<PCE-SEQUENCE> ...

Should now be:

(<branch-delimiter>
  <PCE-ID> ...) ...

Br, Dan.

Hi Quintin,

I was seeing the "PCE Sequence Object", why can a sequence not have either
IPv4 and IPv6 identifiers for PCE in the same object?

We shouls allow a sequence of PCE's with IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

It can easily be done by adding a type field before every time we add
he address.
