Hi,

upon briefly skimming the draft, I would like to suggest splitting application-specific extensions into separate drafts.

Especially section 2.6.1 (time-based scheduling) merits its own draft because of all the issues one runs into when dealing with distributed systems and time. It is obvious that PCC and PCE clocks need to be somehow synchronized -- which is a new operational requirement not considered in PCEP. I think race windows, security implications and the impact of loss of synchronization needs to be described, too.

Bye,
Robert

Hi, Dear PCErs,

    We've just posted a new I-D about PCEP extension for stateful PCE usage in 
GMPLS networks.
You could find the I-D here: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-zhang-pce-pcep-stateful-pce-gmpls-00.txt

    Your feedbacks and comments would be very much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Xian et al.

Abstract:
    The Path Computation Element (PCE) facilitates Traffic Engineering
    (TE) based path calculation in large, multi-domain, multi-region, or
    multi-layer networks. PCE can be stateless or stateful. With the LSP
    state information acquired from the network, a stateful PCE exhibits
    superiority in facilitating a wide variety of applications,
    especially in GMPLS networks, such as impairment-aware routing and
    wavelength assignment in wavelength-switched optical networks (WSON),
    time-based scheduling applications. This memo provides extensions
    required for PCE communication protocol (i.e. PCEP) so as to enable
    the usage of a stateful PCE capability in GMPLS networks. To be more
    specific, the PCEP extensions specified in this memo include not
    only new objects but also modification of existing objects in PCEP
    messages, with regard to stateful PCE usage in GMPLS networks.
