Motivation for PCE Architecture
inter-area/AS optimal path computation (node has partial visibility)
computation of inter-area/AS diverse path (node has partial visibility)
CPU-intensive path computation/global optimization
backup path computation for bandwidth protection with backup capacity optimization
multi-layer networks e.g. TDM network provides connectivity for client-layer (IP, MPLS, L2, etc.)
absence of TED or use of non-TE-enabled IGP
node outside routing domain (e.g., CE to PE path computation)
network element lacks control plan or routing capability
