The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
computations in response to Path Computation Client (PCC) requests.
Although PCEP explicitly makes no assumptions regarding the
information available to the PCE, it also makes no provisions for PCE
control of timing and sequence of path computations within and across
PCEP sessions. This document describes a set of extensions to PCEP to
enable stateful control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS Label Switched Paths
(LSPs) via PCEP.
This document is a product of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
