HI, Dhruv and the authors this draft: How to ensure the interoperability? The document just says: "Further, if one or more parameters received in the POLICY-PARAMETERS-TLV received by the PCEP speaker are considered as unacceptable in the context of the associated policy (e.g. out of range value, badly encoded value...), the PCEP speaker MUST NOT apply the received policy and SHOULD log this event." There will be no more detail error information can be reported via such opaque policy. How to debug the policy deployment then?
And, if there are some examples to show what association requirements can't be accomplished by the SVEC object, and can only be done via PAG, the document may be more convincible.

I wanted to focus on the 3rd point. I remember this being discussed perhaps in the previous incarnation of the draft. The main motivation in PCEP is to provide a "standard" container and mechanism to associate (and encode the policy) and leave the actual policy standardization out of the scope of PCEP. Another way to look at this would be, when a policy is well-known and needs to be standardized (some may consider diversity or SR-Policy as those policies), we define a new standard association-type for it with a standard TLV. This I-D is used when we do not have a standard policy defined in PCEP but would like to use the protocol as an opaque container to associate policies to the path. What does that policy mean and how to encode/decode the policy parameters are expected to be done out-of-band via other mechanisms which are better suited for policy definitions and configurations at the PCEP speakers. Hope this helps! Thanks! Dhruv (hat-less!)
