the question is why "time constraint" should be taken into account
during path computation that would justify incorporation into the
communication between LSR-PCE/PCE-PCE elements
scheduling of LSPs - themselves - is outside the scope of the comm
process between LSR-PCE/PCE-PCE elements, it is even outside the
scope of the PCE (since not a resource manager of some sort)

All,
Thank you for all the comments.
PCE should support time-base reservation in the general and leave as an
option for carrier to implement or not. If we exclude this functionality,
it
is hard to see the full automatic network because there are quite these
kinds of service demands and carrier also encourages the pre-order so they
can proactively engineer the network.
I'll be glad to write an informational draft to explain the possible
mechanism and protocols. Weather the function should be maintained in the
same database or separated databases, it would be better to see after
clarifying the functionality of each element first, and then decide the
solution. The service reservation database mentioned here has a lot of
information that PCE does not need and has no responsibility to maintain
them.
Maybe some cache mechanism could be used.
Welcome anyone to provide the input on the informational draft.
Best Regards,
Lucy

Begging your pardon, Meral, but I'm a bit confused.

The architecture is already intended to be "adapted" for that purpose.
Have
a quick read through the first few sections and you'll see ample
discussion
of inter-AS.
Lucy's email seems to me to be about the time-based reservation of
resources. This doesn't seem to me to be outside the scope of the current
architecture, but one might want to write down how PCE is used for that
purpose as an informational draft.
Personally, I would find Lucy's suggestion of a distinct component and
database that was consulted for each computation request a costly idea,
and
would prefer to see this type of function rolled into a single database.
Adrian
