PCE Information 2/2
Optional Information : Support = MAY
PCE capabilities
Path computation related (e.g. supported objective functions, supported constraints)
General capabilities (support for request prioritization, encryption…)
Alternate PCE for recovery purpose

It means optional in the context of the PCE discovery itself
This does not mean optional in the context of the PCE architecture
It could also be obtained by the PCC-PCE communication protocol

Description of PCE capabilities is out of the scope of this ID
Should be described in a separate ID (as it applies both to PCE discovery and PCC-PCE communication)

Dynamic discovery of PCE capabilities MUST NOT generate an excessive amount of information and SHOULD be limited to a small set of generic capabilities
