This message starts a PCE WG Call for Adoption of:
draft-lee-pce-pcep-ls-optical-18

This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-09-14

Abstract:
   In order to compute and provide optimal paths, Path Computation
   Elements (PCEs) require an accurate and timely Traffic Engineering
   Database (TED).  This Link State and TE information has previously
   been obtained from a link state routing protocol that supports
   traffic engineering extensions.

   Link-State (LS) and Traffic Engineering (TE) information can also be
   carried in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
   using experimental exensions to PCEP known as Link-State PCEP (PCEP-
   LS).  This document provides further experimental extensions to
   collect Link-State and TE information for optical networks.

Please reply to this message and indicate whether or not you support adoption
of this Internet-Draft by the PCE WG. Comments to explain your preference are
greatly appreciated. Please reply to all recipients of this message and
include this message in your response. What needs to be fixed before or after 
adoption? Are you willing to work on this draft?

Please be more vocal during WG polls!


Thanks!
