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 : Applicability of Stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) Author(s) : Xian Zhang Ina Minei Filename : draft-ietf-pce-stateful-pce-app-01.txt Pages : 25 Date : 2013-09-24 Abstract: A stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) maintains information about Label Switched Path (LSP) characteristics and resource usage within a network in order to provide traffic engineering calculations for its associated Path Computation Clients (PCCs). This document describes general considerations for a stateful PCE deployment and examines its applicability and benefits, as well as its challenges and limitations through a number of use cases. Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions required for stateful PCE usage are covered in separate documents.
