Technical Summary
The Resource ReserVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE)
specification and the Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching
(GMPLS) extensions to RSVP-TE allow abstract nodes and resources
to be explicitly included in a path setup. Further Exclude Routes
extensions to RSVP-TE allow abstract nodes and resources to be
explicitly excluded in a path setup.
This document specifies new subobjects to include or exclude domain
during path setup where domain is a collection of network elements
within a common sphere of address management or path computational
responsibility (such as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) area or an
Autonomous System (AS)).
This is a companion document to Path Computation Element Protocol
(PCEP) extensions for the domain sequence [PCE-DOMAIN]
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-domain-sequence/).
Working Group Summary
This document moved from the CCAMP WG to TEAS WG as part of the
routing WG changes. The progress of the draft through the WG
(first CCAMP, then TEAS) has been smooth.
Document Quality
The base (G)MPLS RSVP protocol has been implemented. The
extensions defined in this document are compatible with earlier
implementations. There have been no public statements on
implementation. Three of the four authors are from the same
vendor organization while the fourth is from a research institute –
implementation for experimental purposes is expected.
