Dear all,

We discussed at the call that the(PCEP?) request to ask for a track establishment could be seen as an event, or could be a new flow.
At the call, I suggested that it could be a new, 5th flow. My arguments are that this flow:
- Probably yields different data format. The demand carries and points, end to end latency and bandwidth. That's quite specific.
- Probably yields a different flow. Events do not necessarily have a response. 
- Probably uses a different transport as well (PCEP vs. CoAP)

What do you think?

Pascal
