1. Introduction
[RFC5440] describes the Path Computation Element communication
Protocol (PCEP) which enables the communication between a Path
Computation Client (PCC) and a Path Control Element (PCE), or between
two PCEs based on the PCE architecture [RFC4655]. [RFC5394] provides
additional details on policy within the PCE architecture and also
provides context for the support of PCE Policy.
