Depending on whether a PCE keeps information about LSPs and reserved resource usage in the network or not, it can be categorized as either stateful or stateless. This memo describes general considerations for stateful PCE(s) and examines its applicability through a number of typical scenarios. It shows how stateful PCE(s) can be applied to facilitate these applications.}, }
