Technical Summary
The ability to compute paths for constrained point-to-multipoint
(P2MP) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) across
multiple domains has been identified as a key requirement for the
deployment of P2MP services in MPLS and GMPLS-controlled networks.
The Path Computation Element (PCE) has been recognized as an
appropriate technology for the determination of inter-domain paths of
P2MP TE LSPs.
This document describes an experiment to provide procedures and
extensions to the PCE communication Protocol (PCEP) for the
computation of inter-domain paths for P2MP TE LSPs.
Working Group Summary
No controversy. Two proposals came out as individual submissions and got
merged before moving to WG I-D.
Document Quality
There are existing prototype implementations, but no plans to include the
protocol in product. Hence experimental.
