Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extensions for GMPLS
RFC 8779, “Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extensions for GMPLS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2020 by C. Margaria, O. Gonzalez de Dios, F. Zhang. It has since been updated by RFC 9756. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A Path Computation Element (PCE) provides path computation functions for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks. Additional requirements for GMPLS are identified in RFC 7025.
This memo provides extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for the support of the GMPLS control plane to address those requirements.
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.
