Hi, One overall clarification - The notion that PCEP extensions replaces other protocol is not the right way to look at the issue here. It should be looked at in complementary terms *only*. There are some other points that some have made on the overarching principle. Let me try to summarize

+1, PCEP is rather efficient at dealing with paths and constraints. PCE-CC , as someone mentioned earlier, can be seen as 1-hop LSPs, there could be minimum protocol extensions. PCEP-LS is redoing links-state flooding over PCEP, using the same elements as existing protocols. This sounds OK as an

PCEP-LS looks to me like an experiment. For IP, the value proposition of PCEP-LS compared to e.g. BGP-LS is unclear to me. For optical nodes, I think an NMS or controller can deal with this without requiring PCEP-LS, e.g., using NETCONF. For communication between controllers, typical use

Hi Dhruv , Never said to stop work on PCEP, but in the mail below the intention is to extend protocol in order to be capable to replace other protocol that already deal with specific functionality. The example for ACTN, can be applied as well for functionality like flooding and signaling

Hi Sergio, We also have a PCE WG document which describes the use of PCEP in ACTN - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-applicability-actn/. Yes, ACTN solution via Yang models is perfectly valid. But that should not be a reason, to stop work on PCEP IMHO. Regards, Dhruv On Tue, Jul

Hi Jon, all Looking at the mail below, it seems as though you derive needs to extend PCEP , from the fact PCEP can be consider as having a root role in ACTN context. Well, while ACTN does not mandate any protocol specific in his architecture, the basic toolset to operate ACTN architecture is
