Summary:
Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) is an application of Segment Routing to solve the problem of egress peer selection. The Segment Routing based BGP-EPE solution allows a centralized controller, e.g. a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller to program any egress peer. The EPE solution requires a node to program the PeerNode Segment Identifier(SID) describing a session between two nodes, the PeerAdj SID describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, and the PeerSet SID describing an arbitrary set of sessions or links between a local node and its peers. This document provides new sub-TLVs for EPE Segment Identifiers (SID) that would be used in the MPLS Target stack TLV (Type 1), in MPLS Ping and Traceroute procedures.

The draft is well written and I is almost ready for publication.

Major issues:
None

Minor issues:

AFAIK, In the abstract this sentence appears in correct describing the PeerNode SID, PeerAdj SID & PeerSet SID

Old

The EPE solution requires a node to program the PeerNode Segment
Identifier(SID) describing a session between two nodes, the PeerAdj SID describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, and the PeerSet SID describing an arbitrary set of sessions or links between a local node and its peers.

New
The EPE solution requires the SDN controller or PCE to program the PeerNode Segment Identifier(SID) describing the two peering nodes, the PeerAdj SID describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, and the PeerSet SID is a SID that is describing an attribute that is shared between the PeerNode SID & PeerAdj SID such as load balancing.

<SH> EPE-SIDs can be locally programmed as well. Updated text as below.

The EPE solution requires the node or the SDN controller to program the PeerNode Segment
Identifier(SID) describing a session between two nodes, the PeerAdj SID describing the link (one or more) that is used by sessions between peer nodes, and the PeerSet SID
describing any connected interface to any peer in the related group.



Nits/editorial comments:
AFAIK since this solution describes OAM mechanism for EPE  which would be programmed by a PCE/SDN controller I think RFC 8664 SR PCE should be at least an informative reference.
<SH> RFC 8664 is used to program head-end which consist of EPE-SIDs.
The draft doesnot focus on the head-end programming aspect and hence I am finding it difficult
To introduce informal reference.


 Since SR EPE OAM extension of FEC Stack with the additional IANA TLVs for target substack is being developed with this specification AFAIK I think RFC 4379 should be added as a information reference that includes a list of all the target FEC stack sub tlvs. Would this draft update RFC 4379 adding these additional FEC stack Sub TLVs. It maybe a good idea to add some verbiage related to RFC 4379 and now with this draft adding the additional FEC Stack Sub TLVs thereby updating RFC 4379 making RFC 4379 a normative reference.
<SH> RFC 8029 obsoleted the RFC 4379. RFC 8029 is in the normative reference list in this draft

 RFC 9086 has the EPE sids listed in the order PeerNode SID, PeerAdj SID, PeerSet SID. I think it maybe better to list in this order in the draft for readability since the node info is required first, followed by the link between the nodes, then the node/link attributes.
<SH> ok
