Body |
The Path Computation Element (PCE) Working Group of the IETF is pleased to inform you of the publication of two new RFCs that may be of interest to your members in particular with reference to G.7715.2. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4657.txt describes generic requirements for a communication protocols operating between PCCs and PCEs, and between cooperating PCEs. Additional specific requirements for particular deployment scenarios (such as inter-area, inter-AS, multi-layer, etc.) are covered in separate Internet-Drafts. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4674.txt sets out the requirements for discovery of PCEs and their capabilities. In addition, the working group is very active in specifying application-specific uses of PCE, a policy-related framework, and protocols, protocol extensions, monitroing, and management in support of PCE. We would welcome input from all ITU-T participants. Ideas, opinions, and contributions should be sent to the PCE email list. Details of how to join the mailing list can be found at the PCE charter page (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/pce-charter.html) which also provides pointers to all of the current PCE Internet-Drafts. In the light of G.7715.2, it may be that your members are interested in seeing how the existing PCE protocol work can be applied to meet your requirements.
