Title : Encoding of Objective Functions in Path Computation Element (PCE) communication and discovery protocols
Author(s) : J. Le Roux, et al.
Filename : draft-leroux-pce-of-01.txt

The computation of one or a series of Traffic Engineering Label
Switched Paths (TE LSP) in MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) and
Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks, is subject to a set of one or more
specific optimization criteria(s), referred to as an objective
function (e.g. minimum cost path, widest path, etc.). A Path
Computation Element (PCE) may support one or multiple objective
functions, and it is desired for a Path Computation Client (PCC) to
automatically discover the set of objective functions supported by a
PCE. Furthermore, it may be useful for a PCC to specify in a path
computation request the required objective function used by the PCE
to compute a TE LSP or a set of TE LSPs. Thus the aim of this
document is to define extensions to the PCE Discovery (PCED) TLV
carried within the IS-IS Router Capability TLV and the OSPF Router
Information LSA so as to allow a PCC to discover the set of objective
functions supported by a PCE. Extensions to the PCE communication
Protocol (PCEP) are also specified allowing a PCC to indicate in a
path computation request the required objective function and a PCE to
indicate in a path computation reply the objective function actually
applied.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
