The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to consider the following document: - 'Experimental Codepoint Allocation for the Path Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP)' <draft-ietf-pce-pcep-exp-codepoints-04.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 2017-12-28. 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 IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element (PCE) 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 code points as assigned for Experimental Use. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-exp-codepoints/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-exp-codepoints/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
