Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol for
Enhanced Errors and Notifications
draft-ietf-pce-enhanced-errors-08
Abstract
This document defines new error and notification TLVs for the PCE
Communication Protocol (PCEP) specified in RFC5440, and will update
it. It identifies the possible PCEP behaviors in case of error or
notification. Thus, this draft defines types of errors and how they
are disclosed to other PCEs in order to support predefined PCEP
behaviors.
