The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) extensions for establishing relationships between sets of Label Switched Paths and Virtual Networks' (draft-ietf-pce-vn-association-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Path Computation Element Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Andrew Alston and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-vn-association/ Technical Summary This document describes how to extend the Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP) association mechanism introduced by the PCEP Association Group specification, to further associate sets of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) with a higher-level structure such as a Virtual Network (VN) requested by a customer or application. This extended association mechanism can be used to facilitate control of virtual network using the PCE architecture. Working Group Summary We have broad agreement for this working group document. Document Quality Existing implementation specified in the document. Currently all strings in PCEP are ASCII instead of BCP 18, BCP 166. This was discussed briefly in the WG. The authors decided to keep ASCII with the idea that all string processing would be better to be handled together.
