The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PCEP Extension for Flow Specification' (draft-ietf-pce-pcep-flowspec-12.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-pcep-flowspec/ Technical Summary The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a functional component capable of selecting paths through a traffic engineering network. These paths may be supplied in response to requests for computation, or may be unsolicited instructions issued by the PCE to network elements. Both approaches use the PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) to convey the details of the computed path. This document specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to support dissemination of Flow Specifications. This allows a PCE to indicate what traffic should be placed on each path. Working Group Summary No issues. A post-LC comment pointed out a new requirement to be addressed by this extension. The I-D was updated to cover that feature by adding a flag, there was consensus for it. Document Quality As mentioned in the implementation section: "It is believed that two vendors are considering prototype implementations, but these plans are too vague to make any further assertions." Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? At least 2. Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? Vishnu Pavan Beeram raised the comment that triggered the latest changes (-10). Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Julien Meuric Who is the Responsible Area Director?
