FW: [Pce] Discussions on PCE requirements for GMPLS

[<julien.meuric@orange-ftgroup.com>]

Hello CCAMP.

As described by Fatai below, 2 documents are on the table in the PCE WG to tackle PCE requirements for GMPLS networks. Any feedback that the group may have would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Julien

Hi PCEers
 
We have a draft (draft-zhang-pce-reqs-for-tdm-00.txt) in the process. This draft describes some requirements for applying Path Computation Element (PCE) in Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) networks. 
 
I think GMPLS-based TDM networks can be regarded as sub-set of GMPLS networks (for example, GMPLS-based SDH networks), so the requirements described in this draft (PCE for TDM) are sub-set of the requirments for PCE applied in GMPLS networks.
 
Therefore, It seems that there may be something overlapped with another draft (draft-ietf-pce-gmpls-aps-req-00.txt), but there is no discription on these requirements in draft-ietf-pce-gmpls-aps-req-00.txt.
 
In addition, I think it is not a good solution to keep PCE requirements for  GMPLS in a few separate documents, so I think it is natural to incorporate the requirements into draft-ietf-pce-gmpls-aps-req-00.txt.
 
Any comments or suggestions are welcome and helpful.


 
Thanks
