Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) refers to the set of
virtual network (VN) operations needed to orchestrate, control, and
manage large-scale multidomain TE networks so as to facilitate network
programmability, automation, efficient resource sharing, and
end-to-end virtual service-aware connectivity and network function
virtualization services.

The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a component, application, or
network node that is capable of computing a network path or route
based on a network graph and applying computational constraints.  The
PCE serves requests from Path Computation Clients (PCCs) that
communicate with it over a local API or using the Path Computation
Element Communication Protocol (PCEP).

This document examines the applicability of PCE to the ACTN framework.


This document is a product of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF.
