The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to consider the following document: - 'Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths' <draft-ietf-pce-rfc6006bis-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-08-24. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Point-to-point Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) may be established using signaling techniques, but their paths may first need to be determined. The Path Computation Element (PCE) has been identified as an appropriate technology for the determination of the paths of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) TE LSPs. This document describes extensions to the PCE communication Protocol (PCEP) to handle requests and responses for the computation of paths for P2MP TE LSPs. This document obsoletes RFC 6006. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-rfc6006bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-rfc6006bis/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2983/
