The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to consider the following document: - 'Updated Rules for Processing Stateful PCE Request Parameters Flags' <draft-ietf-pce-stateful-flags-00.txt> as Proposed Standard
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 2019-12-23. 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 Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) to support stateful Path Computation Elements (PCEs) are defined in RFC 8231. One of the extensions is the Stateful PCE Request Parameters (SRP) object. That object includes a Flags field that is a set of 32 bit flags, and RFC 8281 defines an IANA registry for tracking assigned flags. However, RFC 8231 does not explain how an implementation should set unassigned flags in transmitted messages, nor how an implementation should process unassigned, unknown, or unsupported flags in received messages. This document updates RFC 8231 by defining the correct behaviors. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-stateful-flags/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-stateful-flags/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ Pce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pce
