Two Discussion Sessions Grand Challenges for PCE Vision of the Future Try to keep the discussions separate But, of course they overlap
What are the Challenges for PCE? Things that have to happen for PCE to become a widely adopted tool Forget, for a moment, the specific use cases Think now about the environment and the capabilities Some questions to trigger your discussions
Identifying Grand Challenges What qualifies a particular PCE problem as a grand challenge problem? High impact Commercial Social As a facilitator for other technologies Cannot be addressed using existing/previous techniques Solution would benefit from further concentrated research What have been some grand challenge PCE problems that have been solved in the past and what impact have they have had? Objective Functions Multi-domain by BRPC Hierarchical PCE Stateful and Active PCE Export of the TED What is the time horizon for each of the grand challenges? How do we measure success?
Addressing Grand Challenges What is needed to convert a grand challenge into reality? Architecture Research Standardisation Dissemination (evangelism?) Development (OpenSource?) Implementation and Deployment How do we create momentum and opportunity?
#PCE Peace Prayer Changes Everything
Whiteboard for Your Ideas Candidate challenges Educate the SDN community about PCE Where should we do this work? Bring standards groupings together Understand whether PCE does more than compute paths E.g. policies, database look-up Consider push mode PCE Forwarding instructions Path usage instructions (packet classification) Push policies to give network more choice Standardise data models Replace PCEP Your ideas here Show utility Adoption! How to foster adoption? New types of operators (such as Google) Publicity and exposure Trumpet success Operators experience Pointers to product Guides on implementation and applicability How do you use PCE to do specific things? Encourage consortia Of vendors stating this what we need to build PCE Of operators stating a wish list for PCE Interop Understand the role of open source It is a lever for teaching and research (educational value) Set expectations and allow experimentation Marketing challenges Technical challenges
