The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extensions to Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for Hierarchical Path Computation Elements (PCE)' (draft-ietf-pce-hierarchy-extensions-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Path Computation Element Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-hierarchy-extensions/ Technical Summary The Hierarchical Path Computation Element (H-PCE) architecture is defined in RFC 6805. It provides a mechanism to derive an optimum end-to-end path in a multi-domain environment by using a hierarchical relationship between domains to select the optimum sequence of domains and optimum paths across those domains. This document defines extensions to the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) to support Hierarchical PCE procedures. Working Group Summary No controversies. The document was initially marked experimental and after discussion within the WG it was moved to proposed standards. The consensus behind the document is good and it is bases for further H-PCE related work such as stateful H-PCE and ACTN. Document Quality There are several PCEP implementations supporting H-PCE. This includes commercial as well as open source implementations. This information can be found in the appendix. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?
