	 <t>   Segment Routing (SR) steers packets through a network using the IPv6
   or MPLS data planes via source routing.  Stateful Path Computation
   Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) extensions are defined for SR
   Traffic Engineering (TE) LSPs.

   PCEP supports grouping two RSVP-TE signaled, unidirectional MPLS-TE
   Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) with one in each direction in a network
   into an associated bidirectional LSP.  This document extends PCEP
   support to group two unidirectional SR LSPs into an associated
   bidirectional SR LSP.  The mechanisms defined in this document apply
   to both stateless and stateful PCEs for PCE-initiated and PCC-
   initiated LSPs.
