The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PCEP Extensions for PCE-initiated LSP Setup in a Stateful PCE Model' (draft-ietf-pce-pce-initiated-lsp-11.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Path Computation Element Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pce-initiated-lsp/ Technical Summary The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests. The extensions for stateful PCE provide stateful control of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSP) via PCEP, for a model where the PCC delegates control over one or more locally configured LSPs to the PCE. This document describes the creation and deletion of PCE-initiated LSPs under the stateful PCE model. Working Group Summary Given the consensus to consider it, the WG had to update its charter to include that work, which was at the boundary of the former scope. This I-D complements draft-ietf-pce-stateful-pce. Document Quality There are several implementations, including one open source (OpenDaylight). Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Yes, even more than plans. Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? Some updates have been triggered by a couple of operators, thanks to some interoperability testing between several implementations. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Julien Meuric Who is the Responsible Area Director? Deborah Brungard
