Hi Ketan, Andrew,

Thanks a lot, for your comments.


  1.  There is already plan to add support for Adjacency SIDs. The draft will 
be extended (hopefully before IETF113 draft submission cut-off)
  2.  I will check that
  3.  (This is related to questions from Andrew) - Yes, this is coming from 
original definition of SR-ERO subobjects without having support for TLVs, so 
its extensibility is problematic. I like your suggestion about ordering of 
optional fields strictly following their bit positions.
  4.  “Loose” name is result of one of previous versions of this draft, where 
we had 2 different flags – “Fallback” and “Loose”, so names were chosen to 
point to difference between them. Then based on comments one of them was 
dropped, so now are free to modify that name if needed (feel free to suggest 
any alternative). I can add some section describing details for Adj SID 
handling.

Regards,
Samuel

Subject: Re: [Pce] WG Adoption of draft-tokar-pce-sid-algo-05

Hi All,

I support the adoption of this document and have the following comments (not 
blocking adoption) for the consideration of the authors & the WG.

1) While the algorithm was originally introduced for Prefix-SID in RFC8402, it 
has since been also extended to cover Adjacency SID. I hope the text in the 
draft can reflect that better. Also, some reference to IGP flex-algo would be 
helpful since that is perhaps one of the key drivers for this work.

2) I would suggest using the "A" flag in the capabilities for Algorithm than 
the currently used "S".

3) For the ERO encoding, we seem to be getting into problematic territory as 
also indicated by Andrew. I would suggest that the ordering of optional fields 
strictly follow the order in which flags are being introduced (i.e. their bit 
position). This way, we at least don't get into random scenarios. I am not sure 
if the ordering in the ASCII art is considered normative. In the future, it 
would be best if we follow pure TLV/sub-TLV based encoding at all times - i.e. 
always introduce capabilities for sub-TLVs even though there might be none 
foreseen at the time of defining a new TLV.

4) For the LSPA Object, I presume the L (loose) flag is actually indicating a 
"non-strict" adherence to the algo constraint. Somehow the "loose" term may 
give a different impression. There is the preference for an algo and then a 
strict requirement for an algo to be followed (e.g. for flex-algo). Also, some 
clarity on the use of Adj-SIDs that don't have an associated algo with them 
would be helpful.

Thanks,
Ketan

Hi WG,

This email begins the WG adoption poll for draft-tokar-pce-sid-algo-05.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-tokar-pce-sid-algo/

Should this draft be adopted by the PCE WG? Please state your reasons - Why / 
Why not? What needs to be fixed before or after adoption? Are you willing to 
work on this draft? Review comments should be posted to the list.

Please respond by Monday 21st Feb 2022.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks!
Dhruv & Julien
