      <abstract>
	 <t>   In certain networks like financial information network (stock/
   commodity trading) and enterprises using cloud based applications,
   Latency (delay), Latency Variation (jitter) and Packet Loss is
   becoming a key requirement for path computation along with other
   constraints and metrics.  Latency, Latency Variation and Packet Loss
   is associated with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between
   customers and service providers.  The Link Bandwidth Utilization (the
   total bandwidth of a link in current use for the forwarding) is also
   an important factor to consider during path computation.

   IGP Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric extensions describes mechanisms
   with which network performance information is distributed via OSPF
   and IS-IS respectively.  The Path Computation Element Communication
   Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements
   (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation
   Clients (PCCs) requests.  This document describes the extension to
   PCEP to carry Latency, Latency Variation, Packet Loss, and Link
   Bandwidth Utilization as constraints for end to end path computation.
