Hello,

donning the implementer (as opposed to co-author) hat, I have comments pertaining to draft-ietf-pce-pce-initiated-lsp, specifically to Section 6. In general it seems to contradict the general outline of the extension as stated in section 3.2 paragraph 4.

The first paragraph clearly forbids the use of PCRpt D=0 for PCE-initiated LSPs. It is not clear whether this restriction applies to all PCRpts, or only the PCRpt solicited by the PCInitiate message. Section 3.2 paragraph 4 seems to indicate this applies to solicited PCRpts only, which is what makes sense. A clarification is definitely needed.

The third paragraph seems to be replacing the normal delegation mechanics with a PCInitiate-driven exchange. It does not specify whether it is legal for a PCE to send PCUpd(D=1) after a session flap or not. It feels like it is not legal and PCInitiate is intended to fully replace it, but that would contradict section 3.2 paragraph 4. This needs to be clarified.

My preference would be to remove pretty much all of this paragraph, bringing the mechanics to what section 3.2 outlines. Unfortunately there are already some implementations deployed, so we need to factor in the compatiblity with the installed base. Can we perhaps allocate another bit in the Stateful PCE Capability TLV and mark the current one as reserved/deprecated?

Thanks,
Robert
