Minutes

1. Introduction

PCEP MIBs

-          Discovery, Core and P2MP MIBs will require an early MIB Dr Review, can be done prior to Last Call.

2. PCEP Extensions to Compute Service-Aware LSPs

-          Co-chair outlines that working group will not Last Call until IGP work has progressed.

3.1. Stateful PCE Applicability

-          Co-chair request to please comment and discuss the document.

3.2. PCEP Extensions for Stateful PCE and PCE-Initiated LSPs

-          Authors do not see significant changes and suggest the document is “stable”.

-          Observation that the document has been reduced in size.

-          A number of comments made regarding single or sets of documents related to PCE-Initiated LSP setup. Area Director (Adrian Farrel) provided some advice and a poll was conducted. The sense of the room was against merging MPLS and GMPLS documents, very few being opposed to 2 sets.

draft-crabbe-pce-pce-initiated-lsp-03

-          Reminder to address questions on the mailing list.

-          Co-chairs conducted an Adoption Poll, good support and the question will be taken to the list.

draft-minei-pce-stateful-sync-optimizations-00

-          A request for participants to review and comment on the working group list.

3.3. PCEP Extensions for Stateful PCE and GMPLS LSPs

-          No questions.

3.4.a. PCEP Extensions for Remote-initiated GMPLS LSPs

-          A number of questions related to congestion, bandwidth availability, and co-ordination between layers. The response was a suggestion to move the discussion to the CCAMP working group.

-          Questions remain if use cases for remote-initiated mechanism should appear in PCE Stateful Applicability I-D.

-          Co-chair requested that the document scope needs to be clarified before progressing the document.

3.4.b. PCEP Extensions for Remote-initiated GMPLS LSPs

-          Again, co-chair requested that the document needs further discussion and clarification.

3.5. Conveying Path Setup Types in PCEP

-          Document proposes a generic TLV for simultaneously support of more than one path setup type (in addition to RSVP-TE).

-          Further documents will be required, to describe these other setup mechanisms.  

3.6. PCE Path Profiles

-          Discussion required to see if these Path Profiles will be well-defined, or Operator assigned?

-          Co-chair requested further discussion on the list for the document.

3.7. Use Cases for PCE as Central Controller

-          No questions.

3.8. Application-oriented Stateful PCE Architecture and Use Cases

-          Questions to list as we are out of time.

-          Currently out of charter, we need to complete recently chartered work (Stateful).

4.1. Secured Transport for PCEP

-          Some support in the room for the work. A request not to provide too many options, which may over complicate the proposal.

4.2. PCE Discovery Using DNS

-          Request from the co-chair to circulate work with DNS experts within the IETF, and other relevant working groups.

-          No time for further questions.

4.3. PCEP Extensions for Receiving SRLG Information

-          Disagreement from some participants in the room who felt that policy discussion within CCAMP needs to be reflected.

-          Suggestion to move the discussion to both the PCE and CCAMP list. 

5.1. TED Dissemination for Hierarchical PCE

-          No time for questions.

End of Session 15:30

No time for additional presentations, a request from the co-chair to email the list and point to the slides.

5.2. PCEP Extensions for Link Bandwidth Utilization
5.3. PCE Support for Domain Diversity   
5.4. PCEP Extensions for Cross-Domain Label Distribution
