RE: Your input: Use of PCE in Inter-domain

["Ash, Gerald R \(Jerry\), ALABS" <gash@att.com>]

Adrian, Kireeti, All,

I believe that the PCE approach is a valid approach to meeting
inter-domain TE requirements.  Several SPs (Infonet, KDDI, France
Telecom, NTT, AT&T, Telefonica, MCI) provided requirements at the IETF60
PCE BOF supporting the PCE architecture in an inter-domain application
(see minutes at http://ietf.org/proceedings/04aug/index.html).  AT&T's
requirements are summarized in
http://ietf.org/proceedings/04aug/slides/pce-0/sld16.htm and include PCE
support for inter-area/AS/SP TE.  The PCE architecture document
addresses these requirements quite well.

Thanks,
Jerry

Subject: Your input: Use of PCE in Inter-domain

Folks, 

The chairs and ADs would like your input on 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ash-pce-architecture-00.txt in
the 
context of our inter-domain traffic engineering work. 

This draft documents an architecture for Path Computation Elements (PCE)
and 
is currently being discussed on the pce mailing list 
(https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pce) 

What we would like CCAMP to do is give us your opinion on whether PCE is

addresing an inter-domain problem that needs to be addressed, and if so 
whether the architecture provides an acceptable way to resolve the
problem. 

Answers to the mailing list in advance of the meeting in Washington
would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks,
Adrian and Kireeti
