Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for Establishing Relationships between Sets of Label Switched Paths and Virtual Networks
draft-ietf-pce-vn-association-11
Technical Summary
This document describes how to extend the Path Computation Element
(PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP) association mechanism introduced
by the PCEP Association Group specification, to further associate
sets of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) with a higher-level structure
such as a Virtual Network (VN) requested by a customer or
application. This extended association mechanism can be used to
facilitate control of virtual network using the PCE architecture.
Working Group Summary
We have broad agreement for this working group document.
Document Quality
Existing implementation specified in the document.
Currently all strings in PCEP are ASCII instead of BCP 18, BCP 166. This was
discussed briefly in the WG. The authors decided to keep ASCII with the idea
that all string processing would be better to be handled together.
