Just to complete the sequence of referenced I-Ds...

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pce-inter-layer-req-04.txt discusses the requirements for multi-layer path computation (while http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pce-inter-layer-frwk-03.txt gives a framework for the use of PCE in a multi-layer network).

Section 5.1.3 of draft-ietf-pce-inter-layer-req-04.txt describes the specific requirements that you mention for switching type. And section 5.1.4 discusses adaptation capabilities.

We have not, so far, added a requirement for encoding type and are not clear whether this is a constraint that is necessary. We'd be interested to have this discussion.

Before the Prague meeting, Eiji Oki started to put together the necessary protocol extensions in support of this work, but we held off publication because the base PCEP needed to advance a bit more. I guess this sounds like the community is ready for this draft now.

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Fabien,

The switching type/encoding type used to be carried in earlier versions of PCEP ( GENERALIZED LABEL OBJECT in http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-vasseur-pce-pcep-00.txt).
We decided to remove it from the base spec as this is application specific.
This will be covered in a separate document (for instance switching/encoding type could be encoded in a optional TLV of the LSPA object).

Best Regards,

JL

Hi Fabien,

There is a draft "draft-otani-ccamp-gmpls-cspf-constraints-05.txt" which may relate to this issue. But the switching/encoding type may be considered as an attribute of a TE-link, so I doubt it has something to do with the PCEP.

Regards,

Dan

Subject: [Pce] Switching type Constraint in PCEP

Hi,

In RFC4657 one of the generic requirement concerns the support of switching/encoding type constraint
for GMPLS.

Is there any ongoing work about this item?

Thanks
Fabien
