The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to consider the following document: - 'Conveying path setup type in PCEP messages' <draft-ietf-pce-lsp-setup-type-08.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 2018-03-28. 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 A Path Computation Element can compute Traffic Engineering (TE) paths through a network that are subject to various constraints. Currently, TE paths are Label Switched Paths (LSPs) which are set up using the RSVP-TE signaling protocol. However, other TE path setup methods are possible within the PCE architecture. This document proposes an extension to PCEP to allow support for different path setup methods over a given PCEP session. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-lsp-setup-type/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-lsp-setup-type/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
