ForCES Manageability Section Clarification on CE-to-CE communication The ForCES architecture allows for multiple CEs within a single NE. The operating presumption is that the CEs will coordinate their efforts in those cases where multiple CEs are available. Currently the only specified method for CE to interact with FE is for there to be one master CE, though there can be many backup CEs. Other solutions that have been discussed include having multiple specialist CEs per FE, however, the protocol does not support this option. The creation of a protocol or method for CE coordination is out of scope for the initial ForCES specification effort. Any NE that uses multiple CEs for reliability must provide its own coordination mechanisms. |
