The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to consider the following document: - 'Applicability of the Path Computation Element (PCE) to the Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN)' <draft-ietf-pce-applicability-actn-11.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-05-03. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) refers to the set of virtual network (VN) operations needed to orchestrate, control and manage large-scale multi-domain TE networks so as to facilitate network programmability, automation, efficient resource sharing, and end-to-end virtual service aware connectivity and network function virtualization services. The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a component, application, or network node that is capable of computing a network path or route based on a network graph and applying computational constraints. The PCE serves requests from Path Computation Clients (PCCs) that communicate with it over a local API or using the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP). This document examines the applicability of PCE to the ACTN framework. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-applicability-actn/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-applicability-actn/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ Pce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pce
