Hi Adrian, Dhruv,

I also see added value in doing it. Ideally we should really have some reserved 
range wherever possible to avoid using completely non-standard objects…

Thanks,
Samuel

Hi Adrian,

As a WG participant...

Hi working group,

I just refreshed draft-farrel-pce-experimental-errors and cleaned up a couple 
of nits.

It tweaks the scope of the IANA registry to carve out a few Error-Types to be 
for Experimental Use. It also describes how to experiment with Error-Types and 
Error-values

BIG QUESTION

Does the working group want to pursue this?

IMHO it might be worth doing this. Can those who have used experimental 
codepoints for messages, objects and TLV comment on the need for them for 
error-types? Could this have helped you in your experiments?

If we go down in this direction, I also wonder if we should reserve some space 
for error-values for each of the error-types as it is common practice to assign 
new errors under the error-type!

Thanks!
Dhruv


If so: chairs, can we consider adoption?
If not: I can get a little peace by dropping the draft

Cheers,
Adrian

Abstract:

   Experimental RFCs are often considered beneficial approaches to
   developing new protocol features.  To that end, sub-ranges of code
   point registries are often designated as for experimental use.

   IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element Communication
   Protocol (PCEP) parameters (messages, objects, TLVs).  According to
   RFC 5440 as updated by RFC 8356, the allocation policies for the
   registries for PCEP messages, objects, and TLV types are IETF Review
   with some sub-ranges of these registries being assigned for
   Experimental Use.  However, the registry of PCEP Error-Types and
   Error-values has only the IETF Review assignment policy meaning that
   experimentation is somewhat limited.

   This document updates RFC 5440 by designating a range of PCEP Error-
   Types for Experimental Use.
