Applicability of the Path Computation Element to Inter-area and Inter-AS MPLS and GMPLS Traffic Engineering

Overview

RFC 8694, “Applicability of the Path Computation Element to Inter-area and Inter-AS MPLS and GMPLS Traffic Engineering”, is an Informational document published in December 2019 by D. King, H. Zheng. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Path Computation Element (PCE) may be used for computing services that traverse multi-area and multi-Autonomous System (multi-AS) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic-Engineered (TE) networks.

This document examines the applicability of the PCE architecture, protocols, and protocol extensions for computing multi-area and multi-AS paths in MPLS and GMPLS networks.
