one specific comment looking at the APP Area response last August (and hence the first alternative here below) it stated

"If you have looked at HTTP and don't think it works, then telling us where you see problems will help us maybe come up with a better idea."

and may thus be interesting to collect valid input from this list on this proposal and send it to the APP Area

note: i think since so far the concern is the processing efficiency (even if afaik the PCE requirements did not come with specific numbers in terms of computation delay that would allow comparison with the processing delay of the message to see whether this latter is indeed significant) and some messaging specific to PCC/PCE-PCE communication that may require extensions

a last point it may also be important to come up with a clear view on the advantages of each of these solutions and not only their potential drawbacks

All,

I should have been more careful with my acronyms.

PCECP is the generic protocol. In other words, what the requirements
describe. The job vacancy we are trying to fill.

PCEP is JP's (and others) proposed solution.

Subject: [Pce] Choosing the PCE protocol



Hi,

Three candidate protocols have been brought to my attention for us to
consider. These are (in no specific order):
- HTTP
- PCECP (as draft-vasseur-pce-pcep-02.txt)
- COPS

I would like to close the nomination period, and move on to select our
protocol.

The best approach will be if supporters of the candidate protocols
indicate (briefly) why their proposed protocol is suitable. It would

also

be helpful if they were frank about what the weaknesses of their

proposal

are.

And please - this is not an election, it is an interview process.

Thanks,
Adrian

PS The reason why JP is keeping quite on this is that he is an author of
draft-vasseur-pce-pcep-02.txt and so (quite rightly) is not occupying

the

chair during this discussion.
