Abstract
In one embodiment, an agent device discovers a set of path computation elements (PCEs) and corresponding available capabilities and resources, and determines particular capabilities and resources of interest in a particular computer network. Upon building a simplified view of the available capabilities and resources of the set of PCEs based on the particular capabilities and resources of interest, the agent device advertises the simplified view of the available capabilities and resources into the particular computer network.
