   The Path Computation Element (PCE) provides path computation
   functions in support of traffic engineering in Multiprotocol Label
   Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks.

   A link or node failure can significantly impact network services in
   large-scale networks.  Therefore it is important to ensure the
   survivability of large scale networks which consist of various
   connections provided over multiple interconnected networks with
   varying technologies.

   This document examines the applicability of the PCE architecture,
   protocols, and procedures for computing protection paths and
   restoration services, for single and multi-domain networks.
