A profile represents a list of path parameters or policies that a PCEP peer may invoke on a remote peer using an opaque identifier. When a path computation client (PCC) initiates a path computation request, the PCC can signal profile identifiers to invoke path parameters or policies defined on the PCE which would influence the path computation. Similarly, when a PCE initiates or updates a path, the PCE can signal profile identifiers to invoke path parameters or policies defined on the PCC which would influence the path setup.}, }
