Hi Julien, PCE WG New version -07[1] has been posted to address the review feedback. Thanks once again for the review and Shepherding this.
>>>"Any reason why the case above doesn't include the legacy situation, >>>similarly to the case below (i.e. "but MAY consider protection eligibility >>>as a PROTECTION MANDATORY constraint")?" Good question. At the time of the original text the core intention was to clear up interop behavior differences when L=1, in addition to introducing the E flag as the strictness toggle, as that was key impacting interop problem. In other words, the E=1 specifically was to influence the behavior when L=1 or when L=0, and introduce strong enforcement when E=1. When L=0, E=0, the significance on interop and implementation isn't as impacting. If we allow backwards compatibility of L=1, E=0, by permitting "protection mandatory", that would continue to result in different interop implementations of (L=1) which is something the core of the document wanted to correct. The text on L=0, E=0 is trying to play nice with existing known implementations, since the impact in that scenario (the resulting path calculation) wasn't significant. Essentially it's a flag combination which is considered okay to provide backwards interop for in the text.

The problem statement is well described and the solution defined is clear. The I-D is almost ready to progress but has minor issues that need to be addressed before sending to the IESG. _From idnits:_ - The abstract should avoid using references, i.e. you may replace "[RFC5440]" by a phrase like "the base specification". - RFC 4655 is used as a normative document, though not mandatory to implement the I-D: moving it into informative reference section would not only reflect this, but would also avoid the downref. _From my reading:_ - The page header just mentions "I-D": a short title is expected there. - Even if "PCEP" has become a name for the protocol, which leads to dropping "a"/"the", the acronym "PCE" is usually used as a shortcut for the full phrase, thus one expects to see it prefixed by "a"/"the" (cf. "BGP" vs. "the IGP"). I've caught several of these below but probably missed some. - Abstract OLD: This document updates [RFC5440] to clarify usage of the local protection desired bit signalled in Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP). NEW: This document extends the base specification to clarify the usage of the local protection desired bit signalled in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP). - Introduction s/Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP)/The Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP)/ s/Path Control Element/Path Computation Element/ [or just the acronym, since already expanded in the 1st line] NEW: this flag signals to downstream routers that local protection is desired, which indicates to transit routers that they may use a local repair mechanism.
