Hello,

Nice to see some bandwidth being used.

"PCE Architecture" -- an architecture that includes a PCE.

"PCE" -- something that performs path computation.

"PCC" -- something that requests path computation.

In the Abstract...
   This document specifies the architecture for a Path Computation
   Element (PCE)-based model.

Is it really necessary to then state... "We will term this architecture
the PCE Architecture" ?

I believe that at no other point in the architecture document is there a
reference to "PCE" that means "PCE architecture" except it says explicitly
"PCE architecture". I would be happy for you to point out places where
this is a problem.

In other documents (such as draft-ietf-pce-comm-protocol-gen-reqs-02.txt)
appear to make exactly the same distinction.


Thus, there is no use of the term "PCE" to mean an architecture. It is
always used to mean a network element. There is no need to (re-)introduce
the term "PCS" because it is isomorphic to "PCE" as currently defined.

Thanks,
Adrian
