PCE Working Group
Meeting - Thursday, November 17, 2011, 1:00 PM
1. Introduction
1.1.
Administrivia, Agenda Bashing (chairs, 5 min) [5/120]
1.2. WG Status
(chairs, 10 min) [15/120]
2. GMPLS and
Optical Networks
2.1. PCEP
Extensions for GMPLS (Cyril Margaria, 5 min) [20/120]
draft-ietf-pce-gmpls-pcep-extensions
- Co-chair reminded authors that Last Call is not
possible until all issues fixed. Further suggestion, considering the RSVP-TE
aspect, the authors may want to poll CCAMP.
2.2. PCEP
Requirement for RWA (Oscar Gonzalez de Dios, 5 min) [25/120]
draft-ietf-pce-wson-routing-wavelength
- Co-chair suggested that ID should remain active (and
not Last Called) while the solutions draft stabilizes.
2.3. PCEP
Extensions for RWA (Cyril Margaria, 10 min) [35/120]
- Authors added a new section on OF’s. They requested
WG feedback.
- Co-chair stated that the document is within the WG
scope and listed as a milestone. Co-chair suggested the authors should provide
some additional text (specifically the empty sections).
2.4. PCEP
Extensions for Flexi-Grid Optical Networks (Yongli
Zhao, 5 min) [40/120]
draft-zhaoyl-pce-flexi-grid-pcep-ex
- The WG was reminded by ITU contributors that the
flexi-grid data-plane effort in the ITU is fairly recent and still requires
significant discussion. PCE relevant work is therefore slightly premature.
- Authors were reminded of existing Global Concurrent Optimization
(GCO) techniques are available (RFC5557).
3. Multi-Domain
3.1. Procedure
to Compute P2MP Inter-Domain TE-LSPs (Daniel King, 5 min) [45/120]
draft-ietf-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures
- No comments.
3.2.
Hierarchical PCE Framework (Daniel King, 10 min) [55/120]
- No comments.
3.3. PCEP
Extensions for Hierarchical PCE (Oscar Gonzalez de Dios, 10 min) [65/120]
draft-zhang-pce-hierarchy-extensions
- Authors were asked if the solution is advertising a
variety of path attributes. The response was that the solution provides a mechanism
to reduce optimize the information used for H-PCE.
3.4.
Representation of Domain Sequence (Dhruv Dhody, 10 min) [75/120]
draft-dhody-pce-pcep-domain-sequence
- Co-chair
recommended that options can be documented in the draft and the WG can be used
to identify the optimal mechanisms. At this point the emphasises
of the document is option 1.
3.5. Forward-Search Path Computation (Huaimo Chen, 5
min) [80/120]
draft-chen-pce-forward-search-p2p-path-computation
draft-chen-pce-forward-search-p2mp-path
- Co-chair highlighted that
currently the work has not gained significant support to justify the ID’s
becoming a WG effort. The author was reminded that they should look to build a
strong technical argument for the solution and highlight gaps with existing
solutions.
4. Stateful PCE
4.1. PCEP
Extensions for Stateful Control (Edward Crabbe, 15 min) [95/120]
- Author mentioned they plan to review use cases.
4.2. PCEP
Notification for States Synchronization (Kexin Tang,
5 min) [100/120]
draft-tang-pce-stateful-pce Comments
- Author was
advised to review the solution use cases and see if common ground exists with
previous solution.
5. MPLS Applications
5.1. PCEP Extensions for Associated Bidirectional
LSPs (Wenjuan He, 10 min) [105/120]
draft-he-pce-pcep-associated-lsp-extensions
- Author was advised to review
what is currently available and identify gaps.
5.2. PCEP Extensions for Service-Aware LSPs (Dhruv
Dhody, 5 min) [110/120]
draft-dhody-pce-pcep-service-aware
- No questions.
5.3. PCEP Extensions for Backup End Nodes (Huaimo
Chen, 5 min) [115/120]
draft-chen-pce-compute-backup-ingress
draft-chen-pce-compute-backup-egress
- Co-chair reminded author that PCEP extensions should be progressed
after dependent protocol extensions have reached sufficient maturity and status
in other relevant working groups.
