[[Dhruv Dhody]] I have updated to  - 

   Any message received prior to StartTLS or Open message MUST trigger a
   protocol error condition causing a PCErr message to be sent with
   Error-Type set to [TBA2 by IANA] (PCEP StartTLS failure) and Error-
   value set to 2 (reception of a message apart from StartTLS or Open)
   and MUST close the TCP connection.

As per the wording of RFC5440 and I removed PCErr (which was incorrect).

[[Dhruv Dhody]] Agreed, I have updated to - 

   o  4 (ok without TLS) if it is willing to exchange PCEP messages
      without the solicited TLS connection, and it MUST close the TCP
      session.  The receiver MAY choose to attempt to re-establish the
      PCEP session without TLS next.  This attempt SHOULD be limited to
      only once.
