Ballot Text

Technical Summary

An active stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) is capable of
computing as well as controlling via Path Computation Element
Communication Protocol (PCEP) Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic
Engineering Label Switched Paths (MPLS LSP).  Furthermore, it is also
possible for an active stateful PCE to create, maintain, and delete
LSPs.  This document describes PCEP extension to associate two or
more LSPs to provide end-to-end path protection.

Working Group Summary

Nothing of concern.

Document Quality

One implementation is confirmed and at least 2 more have been
placed on product roadmaps.
