PCE Architectural Considerations
synchronization
non-synchronized (e.g., PCE makes multiple individual path computations to generate set of paths)
synchronized (e.g., single PCE invokes computations by other PCEs before supplying result to PCC
PCE discovery & load balancing
detecting PCE liveness
PCC-PCE & PCE-PCE communication
PCE TED synchronization
stateful vs. stateless PCEs
monitoring
policy & confidentiality
must preserve confidentiality across multiple SPs
must ensure confidentiality & security of PCC-PCE & PCE-PCE messages
