Hi, Over the years Dan and I have been asked a number of questions about PCE and how it fits into different uses in the network.
Although we feel that the ABNO document (draft-farrkingel-pce-abno-architecture) goes a long way to explain the bigger picture, there are a lot of smaller, everyday questions that need attention. In an attempt to reduce the email we see, we have collected these into an Informational I-D as below. Obviously, if you all send us comments and thoughts on this document you will successfully thwart our plans :-) Adrian and Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of [email protected] > Sent: 17 January 2013 15:30 > To: [email protected] > Subject: I-D Action: draft-farrkingel-pce-questions-00.txt > > > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. > > > Title : Unanswered Questions in the Path Computation Element > Architecture > Author(s) : Adrian Farrel > Daniel King > Filename : draft-farrkingel-pce-questions-00.txt > Pages : 22 > Date : 2013-01-17 > > Abstract: > The Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture is set out in RFC > 4655.
