Hi,

I think it is very necessary to do this work in IETF, Service Providers in China also expressed such requirements during the technical exchanges.

I have delved into PCE.ppt in the link, however, I can't find the following drafts, If anyone can share with me? Could you please send me these drafts in e-mail, Thanks!

Best Regards
Defeng Li

  Hi,

  Just to let you know that the set of slides for the PCE BOF will be available next Monday morning (http://www.olddog.co.uk/60/pce.ppt)

  Cheers,

  JP and Adrian.

  Path Computation Element BOF (PCE BOF) 
  60th IETF, San Diego, August 2004

  Routing Area Ads: Alex Zinin ([email protected]), 
  Bill Fenner ([email protected])

  BOF Chairs: JP Vasseur ([email protected]), Adrian Farrel ([email protected])

  Description: 
  In certain MPLS TE networks it may be beneficial or desirable to have path 
  computation performed by a distinct node (termed the Path Computation 
  Element PCE) that is not the LSR that needs to know the path. This BOF 
  examines the scope of such function, what extensions to existing protocols 
  might required, what additional protocols may need to be developed, and 
  whether there is cuase and support for this work within the IETF. 

  Proposed WG Charter 

  Organizational Overview 
  The PCE working group coordinates the work within the IETF of defining the 
  operation of path computation elements within the Internet. Path 
  computation elements are responsible for computing paths through IP 
  networks for uses such as traffic engineering so that a prime consumer of 
  such paths might be an MPLS-TE LSR. Areas of responsibility will include 
  the collection of attributes relevant to the computation of paths, the 
  discovery by LSRs of available path computation elements, the communication 
  with LSRs for the request of path computation, the collaboration between 
  path computation elements within the network, and analysis of path 
  computation algorithms with a view to ensuring consistency between computed 
  paths. The working group will work closely with many working groups in the 
  Routing Area including the OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, MPLS and CCAMP working groups. 

  Working Group Scope 

  The PCE working group scope includes: 
  - Definition of Generalized Traffic Engineered LSP paths computation 
  techniques involving Path Computation Element(s). This includes the intra 
  IGP area, inter IGP area, inter-AS and inter-provider TE LSPs path 
  computation for Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and 
  Multipoint-to-Multipoint TE LSPs. 
  - Definition of protocol-independent metrics and constraints defining path 
  quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability criteria 
  related to path computation techniques. 
  - Definition of requirements for communication between LSRs and PCEs 
  including routing extensions in support of PCE discovery techniques within 
  an IGP area and across multiple IGP areas, ASes and Provider networks, and 
  including the development of new protocols or protocol extensions for 
  requesting path computation and supplying responses. Any protocol 
  extensions will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge 
  of the specific protocols. 
  - Specification of routing (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and signalling extensions 
  (RSVP-TE) required by PCE-based path computation techniques. The extensions 
  will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge of the 
  specific protocols. 
  - Specification of requirements and protocol extensions related to the 
  policy, security and confidentiality aspects of PCE-based path computation 
  techniques involving PCEs of multiple Providers. 
  - Definition of MIBs, management procedures related to the protocol 
  extensions defined by the WG 
  In doing this work, the WG will closely work with at least the following 
  other WGs: CCAMP, MPLS, ISIS, OSPF, IDR. The WG will also cooperate with 
  the ITU-T and OIF. 

  Goals and Milestones 
  Dates for milestones to be decided later. 
  - Post strawman WG goals and charter. 
  - Submit WG document defining the framework and applicability of the 
  PCE model. 
  - Select a single candidate protocol from communication between LSRs 
  and PCEs. 
  - Submit document(s) that define various path computation models 
  - Submit an analysis document examining the requirements for coherent 
  computation techniques and the implication of cooperation between 
  PCEs. 
  - Submit a document defining the protocol for communication between 
  LSRs and PCEs. 
  - Submit document(s) defining extensions to routing and signalling 
  protocols necessary to support the use of a PCE model within MPLS 
  networks. 
  - Submit a document defining MIB modules for modeling and management 
  of PCE systems.
