In this document, a Candidate Path is a unit of signalling a (computed) tree instances of an SR P2MP Policy to the Root, Intermediate and Leaf nodes. CPs of an SR P2MP Policy are provisioned with constraints and/or objectives and the PCE then computes the tree instances of the CP. An ACtive CP is selected and the active tree instance of that CP carries traffic from the ROOT. An SR network can be said to have one or tree instances of the Candidate Paths of SR P2MP policies.

[mj] Thanks for the clarification. I will be good with the text once it is added.

Node-ID is part of an identifier of a Replication segment and this document already refers to RFC 9524 for terms related to a Replication segment.

[mj] Thanks for adding them to the Terminology section.

[mj] Look forward to the updated draft.

Cheers.
