Experimental Codepoint Allocation for the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol
RFC 8356, “Experimental Codepoint Allocation for the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2018 by D. Dhody, D. King, A. Farrel. It updates RFC 5440. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) parameters (messages, objects, TLVs). IANA established a top-level registry to contain all PCEP codepoints and sub-registries. This top-level registry contains sub-registries for PCEP message, object, and TLV types. The allocation policy for each of these sub-registries is IETF Review.
This document updates RFC 5440 by changing the allocation policies for these three registries to mark some of the codepoints as assigned for Experimental Use.
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.
