Hi Olivier, Thanks for pointing this out. I think the presentation slide wording might have been a bit stronger than what is currently written in the posted draft, as the text does not prohibit the use of RRO but rather acknowledge and document that there are implementations which skip inclusion of SR-RRO (Nokia implementation does send SR-RRO), so it documents how to handle this scenario on the PCE. The text indicates that SR-RRO may or may not be included, and if omitted the PCE is to fallback to treating the ERO “like” it was an RRO.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-koldychev-pce-operational-03#section-6 A PCC MUST send an (possibly empty) ERO/SR-ERO/SRv6-ERO in the PCRpt message for every LSP. A PCC MAY send an SR-RRO/SRv6-RRO for an SR- TE/SRv6-TE LSP (respectively). A PCE SHOULD interpret the RRO/SR- RRO/SRv6-RRO as the actual path the LSP is taking but MAY interpret only the ERO/SR-ERO/SRv6-ERO as the actual path. In the absence of an RRO/SR-RRO/SRv6-RRO a PCE SHOULD interpret the ERO/SR-ERO/SRv6-ERO (respectively) as the actual path for the LSP. I think the potential interdomain stitching label case you point out and the S-Flag defined in RFC8664 mentioned by Dhruv during the meeting seem to be valid use cases where an SR-RRO would need to be included.

As a consequence for the stateful inter-domain draft, proposed option d1, d2 and d3 become invalid as it uses the RRO to convey the Stiching Label. Thus, only option d4 with a specific new sub-Object to convey the Stitching Label remains valid. As usual, comments are welcome.

The goal isto prepare the discussion for next IETF meeting and reach a consensusin order to edit revision 2 of the draft. The stitching label principle requires at least a certain number of modifications in the current PCEP version: a) A new PCE Capability to announce the inter-domain behaviour b) A new PCE Association Group to associate the local paths identifier to the inter-domain identifier c) new PCEP Errors to manage the Stitching Label exchange d) A mechanism to convey the Stitching Label If there is no other choice than to reuse existing PCEP Objects by allocating new code points for modifications a-c,there is several options for point d, which we have tried to list below: d1) Use ERO and RRO in conjunction to new Path Setup code points as described in version 01 of the draft. It is the simplest implementation but as mention by Dhruv, each time a new path enforcement appear, a new PST code point must be allocated. For example, when Segment Routing v6 will be standardized, we must allocate a new Stitching label PST code point for SRv6. d2) Use ERO and ERO in conjunction to a new flag in LSP. Simple as for d1, but need to use the LSP Extended Flag draft as all LSP flags have been already allocated. d3) Same as d2 but find another place for the flag e.g. SRP or LSPA Object. d4) Define a new PCEP sub-Objet TLV within the LSP Object to convey the stitching label. This is more independent but need extra parsing from an implementation point of view. My preference would for d2 or d3 (in that order). LSP Extended Flag is adopted by the WG and is ready for prime-time use -- let's use it :) Authors of LSP Extended Flag are waiting for the draft blockade to be lifted to post the -00 WG I-D. Thanks! Dhruv Please, give us your opinion about these different options and don't hesitate to propose others.
