Subject: [Pce] Update and request for adoption : draft-li-pce-pcep-flowspec-03.txt

Hi PCE,

This is mainly a keep-alive revision with a little housekeeping (it's amazing
how much of the referenced work has been published as RFCs in the last few
months).

Chatting with Dhruv and our recollection is that there was general support for
this work (specifically for a PCE to be able to tell a headend what traffic to
put on an LSP or SR path). 

Since we have implementations "in the pipe", now would be a really good time for
the WG to think about adopting the work. Over to the chairs for a
decision/action.

Thanks,
Adrian

> Abstract:
>    The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a functional component capable
>    of selecting the paths through a traffic engineered network.  These
>    paths may be supplied in response to requests for computation, or may
>    be unsolicited directions issued by the PCE to network elements.
>    Both approaches use the PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) to convey
>    the details of the computed path.

>    Traffic flows may be categorized and described using "Flow
>    Specifications".  RFC 5575 defines the Flow Specification and
>    describes how it may be distributed in BGP to allow specific traffic
>    flows to be associated with routes.
> 
>    This document specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to support
>    dissemination of Flow Specifications.  This allows a PCE to indicate
>    what traffic should be placed on each path that it is aware of.
