         Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
                Management Information Base (MIB) Module

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling of the Path
   Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for communications
   between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a Path Computation
   Element (PCE), or between two PCEs.

1.  Introduction

   The PCE defined in [RFC4655] is an entity that is capable of
   computing a network path or route based on a network graph and
   applying computational constraints.  A PCC may make requests to a PCE
   for paths to be computed.

   PCEP is the communication protocol between a PCC and PCE and is
