Hi David, A few quick responses: >>1. How does the protocol for computing a single path works in a hierarchical network (more than one level of PCE's)? So far this requirement has been out of scope for the current work. There is growing momentum in the application of PCE to multi-layer networks, ASON, and "domain-paths." So this topic will require further thought and discussion. >>2. What the draft for the concurrent optimization referred to: only inside of a sub-domain or also an inter-domain optimization which requires communication between the PCE's? As above. The pce-global-concurrent-optimization draft focuses on single domain optimisation, specifically the PCC-PCE communication needs and protocol extensions to support the concurrent optimisation. Although, the authors do mention that a Global Concurrent Optimization (GCO) is applicable to a Virtual Network Topology (VNT) and multi-layer traffic engineering for new deployments. >>3. Can we assume that the node's demands are splittable (i.e., can be simultaneously satisfied by more than one path)? I may need some further clarity on this question. Do you mean that there may be more than one possible solution to a path computation, or that the solution to the computation may be a set of "parallel" paths with some assumption of load sharing (e.g. inverse multiplexing)? The answer to the first question is yes and is already done, although some work might be required to allow the PCE to supply a choice of paths to the PCC. The answer to the second question is also yes, but (very simple) protocol extensions will be needed to handle this case.

How does the protocol for computing a single path works in a hierarchical network (more than one level of PCE's)? 2. What the draft for the concurrent optimization referred to: only inside of a sub-domain or also an inter-domain optimization which requires communication between the PCE's? 3. Can we assume that the node's demands are splittable (i.e., can be simultaneously satisfied by more than one path)? Many thanks, David Amzallag BT
