Hi,
I submitted the following draft.
BGP protocol extensions using attribute for Path Computation Element
(PCE) Discovery
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kumaki-pce-bgp-disco-attribute-00.txt
The point here is as follows:
1. Actually, static configuration is fine. But, PCCs/PCEs are required
to discover a set of PCEs automatically from service provider perspective.
2. PCEs are discovered by BGP. In this case, BGP defines a new PCE
Discovery Attribute and does not require PCE capability.
Could you tell me comments and feedback?
Thanks,
Kenji

Title : BGP protocol extensions using attribute for Path
Computation Element (PCE) Discovery
Author(s) : K. Kumaki, T. Murai
Filename : draft-kumaki-pce-bgp-disco-attribute-00.txt
Pages : 8

It is highly desirable for Path Computation Clients (PCCs) to be
able to dynamically discover a set of Path Computation Elements
(PCEs) when PCCs/PCEs request a path computation to PCEs across ASes.
In such a scenario, it is advantageous to use BGP to distribute PCE
information. This document defines a new attribute and describes how
PCE information can be carried using BGP.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
