ABSTRACT:
A method for implementing path computation in a domain includes: storing, in each of path computation elements of a domain, global path computation information for path computation in the domain; and performing path computation by the path computation element in accordance with the global path computation information if a path is to be established as requested. A device for implementing path computation in a domain includes: a storage unit for storing global path computation information used for path computation in a domain; and a computation unit for performing path computation in accordance with the global path computation information stored in the storage unit if a path is to be established as requested.
