Hi All, 

Please find a new version of the ABNO Architecture draft:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-farrkingel-pce-abno-architecture-02

Updates include:

- Discussion on the LSP database and the applicability of other databases. 
- Further description of the VNTM. 
- New use case (GCO - Thanks to Quintin Zhao).
- Some new section placeholders (ALTO Server, Survivability and Redundancy)
- Various nits and readability updates. 

As always, thanks for your attention and comments. 

Br, Adrian and Dan.

Abstract:
   Services such as content distribution, distributed databases, or
   inter-data center connectivity place a set of new requirements on the
   operation of networks.  They need on-demand and application-specific
   reservation of network connectivity, reliability, and resources (such
   as bandwidth) in a variety of network applications (such as point-to-
   point connectivity, network virtualization, or mobile backhaul) and
   in a range of network technologies from packet (IP/MPLS) down to
   optical.  An environment that operates to meet this type of
   requirement is said to have Application-Based Network Operations
   (ABNO).

   ABNO brings together several existing technologies for gathering
   information about the resources available in a network, for
   consideration of topologies and how those topologies map to
   underlying network resources, for requesting path computation, and
   for provisioning or reserving network resources.  Thus, ABNO may be
   seen as the use of a toolbox of existing components enhanced with a
   few new elements.  The key component within an ABNO is the Path
   Computation Element (PCE), which can be used for computing paths and
   is further extended to provide policy enforcement capabilities for
   ABNO.

   This document describes an architecture and framework for ABNO
   showing how these components fit together.  It provides a cookbook of
   existing technologies to satisfy the architecture and meet the needs
   of the applications.
