   Experimental Codepoint Allocation for the Path Computation Element
                     communication Protocol (PCEP)
                 draft-ietf-pce-pcep-exp-codepoints-04

Abstract

   IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element (PCE)
   communication Protocol (PCEP) parameters (messages, objects, TLVs).
   IANA established a top-level registry to contain all PCEP codepoints
   and sub-registries.  This top-level registry contains sub-registries
   for PCEP message, object and TLV types.  The allocation policy for
   each of these sub-registries is IETF Review.

   This document updates RFC 5440 by changing the allocation policies
   for these three registries to mark some of the code points as
   assigned for Experimental Use.

1.  Introduction

   The Path Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440]
   provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform
   path computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs)
   requests.
