Technical Summary

   The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a component that is capable 
   of computing constrained paths for (G)MPLS TE LSPs. The PCE
   Communication Protocol(PCEP) is defined to allow communication
   between Path Computation Clients (PCCs) and PCEs, and between PCEs.
   The PCEP is used to request constrained paths and to supply computed
   paths in response. Generic requirements for the PCEP are set out in
   "Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol Generic
   Requirements", RFC 4657. This document extends those requirements to
   cover the use of PCEP in support of inter-AS MPLS TE.

Working Group Summary

   Good WG consensus reported. 

Document Quality

   As a requirements document, this document is not subject to 
   implementation, although related protocol work has been done 
   in parallel. The document has been discussed and 
   reviewed by several key WG members including both co-chairs.
   Further, Sandy Murphy from the Security Directorate made a 
   thorough review of the document and Adrian Farrel has worked
   with the authors to address the comments. 

Personnel

   JP Vasseur is the document shepherd (although Adrian Farrel has
   also helped with document progression). Ross Callon is the 
   responsible AD.

  Section 1, second paragraph:
    OLD
      Three signaling options are defined for setting up an
      inter-AS TE LSP:
    NEW
      Three signaling options are defined for setting up an
      inter-AS TE Label Switched Path (LSP):

  Section 2 (“terminology”). Please add the following definition: 
    ASBR  Autonomous System Border Router (see section 3 of RFC4216)

  Please move figure 1 from the end of section 3 (right before 3.1)
  to be right after the first paragraph of section 3.    

  Section 4, first paragraph, last sentence, the word "perations"

  discretion regarding how to handle this.

    OLD
      This document addresses new requirements that apply
      to inter-AS operations.
    NEW
