Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol for Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths
RFC 6006, “Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol for Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2010 by Q. Zhao, D. King, F. Verhaeghe, T. Takeda, Z. Ali, J. Meuric. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8306 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version.

Abstract
Point-to-point Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) may be established using signaling techniques, but their paths may first need to be determined. The Path Computation Element (PCE) has been identified as an appropriate technology for the determination of the paths of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) TE LSPs.
This document describes extensions to the PCE communication Protocol (PCEP) to handle requests and responses for the computation of paths for P2MP TE LSPs. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
