The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PCE-based Computation Procedure To Compute Shortest Constrained P2MP Inter-domain Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths' (draft-ietf-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures-08.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Path Computation Element Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures/ Technical Summary The ability to compute paths for constrained point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) across multiple domains has been identified as a key requirement for the deployment of P2MP services in MPLS and GMPLS-controlled networks. The Path Computation Element (PCE) has been recognized as an appropriate technology for the determination of inter-domain paths of P2MP TE LSPs. This document describes an experiment to provide procedures and extensions to the PCE communication Protocol (PCEP) for the computation of inter-domain paths for P2MP TE LSPs. Working Group Summary No controversy. Two proposals came out as individual submissions and got merged before moving to WG I-D. Document Quality There are existing prototype implementations, but no plans to include the protocol in product. Hence experimental. Personnel Julien Meuric is the Document Shepherd Adrian Farrel is the Responsible Area Director
