[Pce] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-pce-pcecp-interarea-reqs-01.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: PCE Communication Protocol (PCECP) Specific Requirements for Inter-Area (G)MPLS Traffic Engineering

For scalability purposes a network may comprise multiple IGP areas. 
An inter-area TE-LSP is an LSP that transits through at least two IGP 
areas. In a multi-area network, topology visibility remains local to 
a given area, and a head-end LSR cannot compute alone an inter-area 
shortest constrained path. One key application of the Path 
Computation Element (PCE) based architecture is the computation of 
inter-area TE-LSP paths. This document lists a detailed set of PCE 
Communication Protocol (PCECP) specific requirements for support of 
inter-area TE-LSP path computation. It complements generic 
requirements for a PCE Communication Protocol.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
