Hi Dhruv,
Thanks for your quick feedback.

The current version of the draft adds attribute TLVs to the SR Policy 
Association Group, but the same TLVs can also be generic in PCEP.
We can surely evaluate to generalize it.

Your assumption is correct, anyway this extension in PCEP would allow PCC to 
include in general all the available data plane on-path telemetry methods 
(IOAM, Alternate Marking and so on).

A capability exchange before the use of this extension is a good suggestion in 
particular for IOAM, but no need for Alternate Marking.

Regards,

Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

Thank you for introducing your draft on the mailing list.

A quick high level questions - Could we make this generic: to be applied for 
any Path Setup Type (PST) in PCEP - RSVP-TE, SR, PCECC etc? I agree that SR 
might be of immediate importance; but from PCEP point of view, it could be 
useful to keep this generic so that we don't have to reinvent it for other PST.

It might be good idea to tackle the need for this extension in PCEP - which to 
me is to make sure that the PCC includes IOAM header in the data packet with 
fields as specified by the PCE. Correct?

Also suggest to add capability exchange during open messages before a peer uses 
this extension.

Thanks!
Dhruv (as a WG contributor)
