Abstract
A path computation element (PCE) central controller (PCECC) comprising a memory comprising executable instructions and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions. Executing the instructions causes the processor to receive a request to compute a path through a network, the request comprising a plurality of computational tasks, divide the computational tasks into a plurality of groups of computational tasks, transmit at least some of the plurality of groups of computational tasks to a plurality of path computation clients (PCCs) for computation by the PCCs, and receive, from the PCCs, computation results corresponding to the plurality of groups of computational tasks.
