Thanks Mike,
Another question/comment.
The color & endpoint are encoded in the Extended Association ID
TLV (defined in RFC 8697. The Extended Association ID TLV is an optional TLV
for use in the ASSOCIATION object. The meaning and usage of the Extended
Association ID TLV are as per Section 4 of [RFC6780] .
The content of the Extended Association TLV is defined here.
Hence, the content of the TLV as expressed in the draft is only valid when the
association type is 6 (segment routing). In other cases, the format would be
completely different.
Typically the content of all PCEP TLVs are well defined without
requiring knowledge of the object in which they are carried. Some sort of type
is used to determine the content.
Looking at Section 4 of [RFC6780], the "Extended Association
ID: variable, 4-byte aligned
This field contains data that is additional information to support
unique identification. The length and contents of this field is
scoped by the Association Source. ".
There, all association fields are together, so it makes sense.
However, as in PCEP RFC 8697 "stripped off" the extended association ID to a
TLV... well, we have the problem of having a TLV without any pre-defined format
or any way of knowing its content without context...
Is there any particular reason for this behavior? Does color &
endpoint absolutely need to be part of the Extended Association TLV or could
they have their own TLV?

Oscar

Hi Oscar,
Yes, I believe your understanding is correct.
Thanks,

Subject: Question about Originator Address in
draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp
Dear PCE WG & draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp authors,
I have one (easy) question about the SR Policy Candidate Path
Identifiers TLV in section 5.2.2.
"Originator Address: Represented as 128 bit value where IPv4 address
are encoded in lowest 32 bits, part of the originator identifier, as
specified in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] Section 2.4."
In [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] Section 2.4. :
"Node Address : represented as a 128-bit value. IPv4 addresses
MUST be encoded in the lowest 32 bits, and the high-order bits
MUST be set to zero."
I guess an IPv4 Originator address would be encoded as follows:
(apologies if the lines do not appear properly)
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Proto. Origin | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Originator ASN |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| all zeros |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| all zeros |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| all zeros |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Originator IPv4 Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Discriminator |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
I ask it because in one interoperability test we are carrying out now,
in one implementation the IPv4 address is encoded in the bits right after
Originator ASN. Hence... I just want to be sure my understanding is correct to
avoid a philosophical discussion :)
Best Regards,
Oscar
