PCE Path Profiles
This document describes extensions to the Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol (PCEP) to signal path profiles. A stateful or stateless path computation element (PCE) can maintain an association between a set of path parameters and a profile. A PCC can use the path profile to initiate a path computation request without having to specify a detailed list of path parameters. In addition, a PCC can use the path profile to implement local policies associated with a path.
