      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document specifies extensions to the Path Computation Element
   Communication Protocol (PCEP) to enhance support for Segment Routing
   (SR) with a focus on the use of Segment Identifiers (SIDs) and SR-
   Algorithms in Traffic Engineering (TE).  The SR-Algorithm associated
   with a SID defines the path computation algorithm used by Interior
   Gateway Protocols (IGPs).  This document introduces extensions in
   three main areas.

   Mechanisms for informing PCEP peers about the SR-Algorithm associated
   with SIDs by encoding this information in Explicit Route Object (ERO)
   and Record Route Object (RRO) subobjects.  This document updates RFC
   8664 and RFC 9603 to allow such extension.

   The document specifies SR-Algorithm constraint, enabling refined path
   computations that can leverage IGP algorithm logic, including
   Flexible Algorithms, and their associated constraints and
   optimization metrics.

   It defines new metric types for the METRIC object required to support
   SR-Algorithm based path computation, but also applicable to Label
   Switched Paths (LSPs) setup using different Path Setup Types.
