Abstract Abstract
This document defines a YANG data model for the management of the This document defines a YANG data model for the management of the
Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for
communications between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a Path communications between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a Path
Computation Element (PCE), or between two PCEs. Computation Element (PCE), or between two PCEs.
