[Rich Bradford \(rbradfor\)]

Dear WGs,   I’ve posted two new, interrelated IDs proposing a simple extension to the ERO to allow path segments in separate ASs to remain confidential. There are indeed various circumstances that require "encoding" a path segment in some form. I've included the abstracts below. The IDs have been split into a CCAMP ID specifying just the ERO extensions and the PCE ID which details the protocol extensions to use Path Keys. The PCE ID also incorporates feedback from the list including a preliminary look at security considerations.   Comments are very welcome.   Thanks, Rich   Abstracts and links follow:        Abstract to draft-bradford-ccamp-path-key-ero-00.txt      Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE)    Label Switched Paths (LSPs) may be computed by Path Computation    Elements (PCEs). Where the TE LSP crosses multiple domains, such    as Autonomous Systems (ASs), the path may be computed by multiple    PCEs that cooperate, with each responsible for computing a segment    of the path. To preserve confidentiality of topology with each AS,    the PCE supports a mechanism to hide the contents of a segment of    a path, called the Confidential Path Segment (CPS), by encoding    the contents as a Path Key Sub-object (PKS). This draft describes    the addition of this object to the Explicit Route Object.   This draft can be found under the missing drafts link at: http://www.olddog.co.uk/ccamp.htm       Tail of Abstract from draft-bradford-pce-path-key-01.      This document defines a mechanism to hide the contents of a    segment of a path, called the Confidential Path Segment (CPS). The    CPS may be replaced by a path-key that can be conveyed in the PCE    Communication Protocol (PCEP) and signaled within in a Resource    Reservation Protocol (RSVP) explicit route object.   A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-bradford-pce-path-key-01.txt
