Experimental Codepoint Allocation for
the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
Abstract
IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element Communication
Protocol (PCEP) parameters (messages, objects, TLVs). IANA
established a top-level registry to contain all PCEP codepoints and
sub-registries. This top-level registry contains sub-registries for
PCEP message, object, and TLV types. The allocation policy for each
of these sub-registries is IETF Review.
This document updates RFC 5440 by changing the allocation policies
for these three registries to mark some of the codepoints as assigned
for Experimental Use.

RFC 8356 Experimental Codepoints for PECP March 2018
1. Introduction
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440]
provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform
path computations in response to Path Computation Client (PCC)
requests.
Further, in order to support use cases described in [RFC8051],
