Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) D. Dhody Request for Comments: 8356 Huawei Technologies Updates: 5440 D. King Category: Standards Track Lancaster University ISSN: 2070-1721 A. Farrel Juniper Networks March 2018 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. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Standards Track [Page 2] 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.
