Hi Ketan,

Yes, we are updating text in the draft to consider that part as well (but still 
partially allowing use of SID filtering for 2 to 127). I planned to cover that 
part as part response in original mail thread with your comments with already 
updated document as well.

Regards,
Samuel

Subject: Re: [Pce] draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo - SID filtering simplification

Hi Samuel/WG,

Thanks for following up on this point.

As I had mentioned in my review, it is problematic to specify anything 
concretely for Algos 2 to 127. This is because they are subject to what may be 
specified by future documents (i.e., in LSR WG). Therefore, from a protocol 
correctness perspective, please consider making only suggestions or bringing up 
the idea that SID filtering can be applied to those algos, but leave it to 
future specs to actually specify such behavior.

I hope you can consider this as well.

Thanks,
Ketan

Hi PCE WG,

During the AD review of the PCEP SID Algorithm draft, comment was raised by 
Ketan (thank you for detailed review) related to benefits of SID filtering for 
the Flex-Algo range of SR-Algorithms.
After discussions with the co-authors, we have decided to limit the use of SID 
filtering to the non-Flex-Algo range of SR-Algorithms. As a result:

  *   SID Filtering: Applicable only to SR-Algorithm values 0-127:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-19.html#name-path-computation-with-sid-f<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-19.html#name-path-computation-with-sid-f%22%20t>
  *   Flex-Algo Path Computation: Applicable to SR-Algorithm values 128-255:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-19.html#name-flexible-algorithm-path-com<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-19.html#name-flexible-algorithm-path-com%22%20t>
As a result of this change, the F flag in the SR-Algorithm TLV will no longer 
be required. This flag was originally introduced to allow the Flex-Algo range 
to be used with both - SID filtering and Flex-Algo path computation.
We believe this change simplifies the specification and improves clarity while 
maintaining the intended functionality of the draft.

If you have any concerns or objections to this proposed change, please respond 
to the mailing list by 17th June.

Thanks a lot,
Samuel
