A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Encoding of Objective Functions in Path Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP)
	Author(s)	: J. Le Roux
	Filename	: draft-ietf-pce-of-02.txt
	Pages		: 17

The computation of one or a series of Traffic Engineering Label 
   Switched Paths (TE LSPs) 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 to be 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 communication Protocol 
   (PCEP) in order to allow a PCC to discover the set of objective 
   functions supported by a PCE as well as to allow 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 that 
   was used for path computation.

Send a message to:

In the body type:

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
Internet-Draft.
