hi jerry

section 6.1.17 mentions

The PCECP MUST support the following "unsynchronized" objective
  functions:

  o Minimum cost path (shortest path)
  o Least loaded path (widest path)
  o To be determined


not  sure to understand the last bullet, this said by mandating multiple functions, there is no "simple" default anymore one should assess the impact of such implication


Right.

section 6.3.14

"  The path computation request message MUST support TE LSP path
 reoptimization and the inclusion of a previously computed path."


i don't understand the sentence, how a message can support re-optimization; i think you mean here that an indication is required as part of the message ?

btw, the only that differentiates the path request for re-routing vs re-optimization is timing, and that the former must support inclusion of the failed element and the "old path" this is not the case for re-optimization

" This will help ensure optimal routing of a reoptimized path, since it will
 allow the PCE to avoid double bandwidth accounting and help reduce
 blocking issues."


the fact of giving the "old path" is not an indication of avoiding double bandwidth accounting (it is linked to make-before-break process) nor ensuring optimal routing


Well this is easy to understand. You must be able to differentiate the two following cases:
(1) PCC requests a path computation for a new LSP
(2) PCC requests a path computation for an existing LSP: this refers to as the reoptimization case and of course, the PCC needs to provide the existing path to avoid double bandwidth accounting that could lead to sub-optimal path ...

Hi All,

Please review and comment on the updated version of the PCE
communications protocol (PCECP) generic requirements I-D
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pce-comm-protocol-gen-req
s-03.txt.

Per our agreements at IETF-64 (see JL's slide at
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/05nov/slides/pce-11/sld7.htm), the
referenced requirements in the inter-area PCECP requirements draft have
been moved into the generic PCECP requirements draft.  In particular,

- Section 6.1.17 'Objective Functions Supported' was added
- Section 6.3.4 'LSP Rerouting & Reoptimization' was updated

Our objective is to start a WG last call soon.  We look forward to your
review and comments.

Thanks,
Regards,
Jerry

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                                  : PCE Communication Protocol Generic
Requirements
                Author(s)                 : J. Le Roux, J. Ash
                Filename                 : draft-ietf-pce-comm-protocol-gen-reqs-03.txt
                Pages                                  : 22
                Date                                  : 2005-12-28
               
The PCE model is described in the "PCE Architecture" document and
  facilitates path computation requests from Path Computation Clients
  (PCCs) to Path Computation Elements (PCEs).  This document specifies
  generic requirements for a communication protocol between PCCs and
  PCEs, and also between PCEs where cooperation between PCEs is
  desirable.  Subsequent documents will specify application-specific
  requirements for the PCE communication protocol.
