Dear Authors,
I have 3 points as below:
1.
Section 4.1:
It doesn't mention about U Bit.
(MN) I assume U Bit MUST be set to set initiate-capability (I Bit), suggest to update the same.
2.
(MN) During LSP synchronization LSP Initiate SHOULD be avoided, as this may lead to other issues, if this can be mentioned in the draft..
3.
Section 5.3:
The only exception to this rule is for LSPs for which the State Timeout Interval timer is running (see Section 6).
Section 6:
A PCE (either the original or one of its backups) sends a PCInitiate message, including just the SRP and LSP objects, and carrying the PLSP-ID of the LSP it wants to take control of. If the PCC receives a PCInitiate message with a PLSP-ID pointing to an orphaned PCE- initiated LSP, then it MUST redelegate that LSP to the PCE.
(MN) Why is this exception required? Why can't PCE just takes control of this orphan LSP? As the orphan LSP may be used by service, why to interrupt?
Moreover new initiate request may have different destination and different attributes.
Or please kindly explain if my undestanding is not correct.

The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to
consider the following document: - 'PCEP Extensions for PCE-initiated LSP
Setup in a Stateful PCE Model'
<draft-ietf-pce-pce-initiated-
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2017-08-23. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests.
The extensions for stateful PCE provide active control of
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering Label
Switched Paths (TE LSP) via PCEP, for a model where the PCC delegates
control over one or more locally configured LSPs to the PCE. This
document describes the creation and deletion of PCE-initiated LSPs
under the stateful PCE model.
