This document specifies the crank-back routing mechanism based on re- routing in crank back Path Computation Element (PCE). When a Path Computation Client (PCC) requests a PCE for a route, it may be useful for the PCC to specify Crank-back routing to the path computation, abstract nodes, resources, and domains that are to be explicitly excluded from the computed route. Such mechanism is termed Crank- back routing. The PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) is designed as a communication protocol between PCCs and PCEs. To support this mechanism, function of PCE and procedure of PCEP signaling performance are extended.}, }
