Technical Summary

   This document describes how to extend the Path Computation Element
   (PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP) association mechanism introduced
   by the PCEP Association Group specification, to further associate
   sets of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) with a higher-level structure
   such as a Virtual Network (VN) requested by a customer or
   application.  This extended association mechanism can be used to
   facilitate control of virtual network using the PCE architecture.

Working Group Summary

   We have broad agreement for this working group document.

Document Quality

   Existing implementation specified in the document.

   Currently all strings in PCEP are ASCII instead of BCP 18, BCP 166. This was
   discussed briefly in the WG. The authors decided to keep ASCII with the idea
   that all string processing would be better to be handled together.
