Julien, The authors of draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures have discussed (thanks to co-authors for comments!) the strategy for the work and our plan is as follows:
1. Review the requirements. Our operator co-authors are very useful for having these discussions, but we would like feedback from the WG as well; 2. Create a single hybrid solution. We feel we can create a good solution that utilizes the strengths of BRPC and Core Tree technologies; 3. Continue to compare requirements against selected solution and modify as necessary; 5. Implement and complete! Our purpose is to converge on a single solution. We do not think multiple inter-domain P2MP solutions are wanted or necessary. We agree that we have a lot of time ahead of us in developing our solution. We have already received comments from the WG and we would like more feedback. Thank you!

We hope that adoption of this work item by the WG would make the work more visible and generate further interest in developing the overall solution. I believe we have a broad consensus across the co-authors for how to move this work forward. Please give me a few days to confirm our plan with my co-authors and then I will mail you and the WG our intended strategy.

It is a significant step that authors of both drafts agreed on working on a single document and we congratulate all of you for that. During IETF 76, you also mentioned "Lots of work and analysis ahead" and a need to "continue to review requirements and select the technique that best meets the requirements". Indeed, the current version of the document looks more like a solution list than an actual merge of former proposals. Considering the complexity induced by an inter-domain P2MP extension, we would appreciate before taking any decision that you elaborate on the way you intend to move forward towards a common solution. Thanks Julien ________________________________ From: Quintin Zhao [mailto:[email protected]] Hi Co-Chairs and PCE WG, Different parties have been working on solutions for computing P2MP paths across multi-domain networks. At IETF 75 we were requested by JP, to formulate a plan and resolve any issues in order to move the work forward. After calls and emails between draft-ali-pce-brpc-p2mp-ext and draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedure authors, we felt there was concurrence to merge the solutions and work together on a unified solution. At IETF 76 we presented our initial/combined PCE-based Shortest Constrained P2MP Inter-domain TE-LSP solution (draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures-02). We would like to know if the co-chairs and WG would be in favor of the document becoming a WG draft?
